ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Colten got to be Abraham Lincoln at the "Living History Museum" at his school.

Thanks to the most creative person in our family,

Dad....The Bomb, his costume turned out awesome.

Colten did a great job and was so excited to be Abraham Lincoln.

He thinks he ROCKS!

Colten's speech is as follows.

See if you know these interesting facts.

~ I was known for ending slavery. Who Am I? I am Abraham Lincoln.

~ My Mother died when I was young, but I was very close to my

Step-Mother.

~ Even though I enjoyed telling jokes and making people laugh,

I was no stranger to sadness, as I battled with depression.

~ I was fond of pets and owned horses, cats dogs, and even a turkey.

~ I had four sons, but only one of them lived to be an adult.

~ My nickname is "Honest Abe" because I was always careful to be honest in everything I did.

~ One week before my death, I had a dream of someone crying in the White House,

I looked in and asked who had died, and someone said,

"The President".

When I looked in the coffin it was my own face I saw.

~ Many people claim me to be the best President of the United States.
