The Birth of a Nation

As part of a deeper look at silent film, I screened DW Griffith's epic The Birth of a Nation and noted that Lincoln's office is depicted. So I wrote a review for the Movies and TV page.

I also added a couple of new pictures in the last couple of days. Check What's New.

I was just at the Lincoln Library in Springfield. Their recreation of the office is very well done. If anyone has not yet been, please do so. I have some pics of the recreation if anyone wants to see or if you want to post.

Do any photos exist of the Treaty Room from pre 1902 showing the stairs and doorway at the south end of the east wall leading to what is now the Lincoln Bedroom?
