Show . 2 - THE CITIZEN APRIL 14, THURSDAY, 1977 Profiles From The Past By TIIEODA DOWNS Chairman Historical Heritage Society of Smithfield examine this place of long ago. We did make it just as the lights were being turned out. We also visited the beautiful monument where Lincoln is buried just on the outskirts of Springfield. It is a beautiful structure which indicates the love of his countrymen for him. But. . . I'd like to take you some 20 miles northwest of Springfield to a little village which has been restored to look as it did when Lincoln, at the age of 22 traveled by canoe down the Sangamon River and found it. He remained there for six years in all and they were years which shaped his future life. The little village of New Salem gave him his first History has always been of great interest to me and probably more than any other time in my life. . . I appreciated it a few years ago when for the tirst time I had the opportunity to see some of the places I had read about all through my life. Come with me in memory to some of those places. While in Springfield, Illinois, we had the opimrtunity to visit the home of Abraham Lincoln. . . the only home he ever owned. As I looked into thrse rooms I could almost see the tall lanky form of the president who carried such a burden in his heart that it showed not only in his face but in the very droop of his shoulders. This was the place, Herndon. footstep during our three to to the State Legislature, he began to study Taw on his own and by 1836 was admitted to the bar. . and ready to practice in Springfield. New Salem did not exist for many years after Lincoln left. . . but today it is restored and is a little village with the cabins, 'stores, mills, blacksmith shop and all the cabins just as they were more than a century ago. I wish you could have walked with me through that village and felt the thrill that numbers.

This is history. . . Im really here. but I couldn't quite believe I was actually seeing these places. We had the opportunity to visit the Ford Theatre where Lincoln was shot. We stood in the dixir of the box where the Lincolns sat to see the show. And then we crossed the street and climbed the stairs to the room where Lincoln was taken after he was shot. We saw the room where he died a short time later. Our visit to the capitol and Washington.

All the things I'd ever read about Lincoln as a lawyer came tumbling into my mind as I saw his desk. . .his law books. . . and papers.
