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. 606 $aMonuments$zUnited States 606 $aHistoric sites$zUnited States 606 $aSculptors$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xDescription and travel 607 $aUnited States$xHistory, Local 615 0$aMonuments 615 0$aHistoric sites 615 0$aSculptors$xHistory. 676 $a973.7092 700 $aPercoco$b James A$01562882 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780969603321 996 $aSummers with Lincoln$93830873 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis 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
