Andrea Seiger is walking us through the very space and setting of the story of Lincoln visiting his son Willie’s grave in the bestselling book, Lincoln in the Bardo. Lincoln’s clandestine visits occurred in the dark of night. Andrea is author of “111 Places You Must Not Miss in Washington DC” and the event is sponsored by Politics and Prose. Check out P&P website for an overwhelmingly interesting list of trips and events!
Mark your calendars for next year! Not to be missed. Mapping Georgetown met the most interesting, personable, informative, fun and pretty people at the DC History Conference! So many stories!
Wow, Jennifer! Do you know that the portrait of Yarrow Mamout by James Alexander Simpson that hangs in the Peabody Room is Jerry McCoy’s favorite thing! Thank you for your story! We can only imagine how interesting the project!
This is sooo exciting! Here a few links:

There are no words for what we felt when we received this sacred tribute! We are certain that the same rings true for Chief of Staff to Police Chief Peter Newsham, Matt Bromeland, and staff while creating and submitting this story.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks for the special effort you put into this and Officer Remington’s stories. We can’t thank you enough!
There isn’t anyone in Georgetown, even today, who didn’t know Officer Pozell or know someone who did. He was that kind of guy!

The gentleman mentioned in part 2 took me right to the Tallahatchie Bridge. “It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day…”
