No other American has ever been so widely commemorated. A few years ago, anticipating the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth in 2009, Jim Percoco, a history teacher with a passion for both Lincoln and public sculpture, set off to see what he might learn about some of these monuments what they meant when they were unveiled, and what they mean to us today.MonumentsUnited StatesHistoric sitesUnited StatesSculptorsUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesDescription and travelUnited StatesHistory, LocalMonumentsHistoric sitesSculptorsHistory.973.7092Percoco James A1838736MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973548603321Summers with Lincoln4417791UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
