During his recent 200th birthday we learned a great deal of Abraham Lincoln's life in Springfield and Washington, DC. But what about the Chicagoland area? Do we have any connections to the sixteenth president?Local historian and author Kate Gingold used the "Six Degrees of Separation" theory to find out. While some local Lincoln associations might be a little roundabout, she found many odd and interesting facts that make Lincoln and his times come alive for us today.And there's even a connection to Kevin Bacon!
