Description
Abraham Lincoln loved poetry and enjoyed reading poems from many writers, including Edgar Allan Poe. Lincoln first discovered Poe in the 1840s. Lincoln’s law partner later wrote that Lincoln, “carried Poe around on the Circuit—read and loved ‘The Raven’—repeated it over & over.” “The Raven” wasn’t the only work of Poe that he enjoyed, as he also read "The Gold Bug" and "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar." Honoring Lincoln's love of Poe, Ranger Dani reads "The Raven."
