Abraham Lincoln was born in a one-room log cabin in Kentucky 200 years ago today. We here at the University of Nebraska Press brought treats to work in honor of the president’s big day (apparently, Lincoln was fond of apples and wild game; we are celebrating with cupcakes). We’re also celebrating by offering our readers 25 percent off Abraham Lincoln titles through the end of the month.
If you live in Lincoln, you can check out this article in the Lincoln Journal Star for other local ways to celebrate Honest Abe’s birthday. And for some fun facts about our 16th president (fact no. 6: he has no living descendents), click here.
