| Description |
This log cabin is one of the reconstructed buildings at New Salem, a state historic site. It is probably the cabin of Isaac Gulihur. It is constructed of round logs. Buildings of both square and round logs are represented. Round logs were easier to create, but you had to fill the gaps with mud or something else. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), who was President during the Civil War, lived in New Salem for six years, from the age of 22 on. He worked at a number of jobs, including rail splitter, surveyor, postmaster, store clerk, partner in a store, and member of the Illinois General Assembly. He was also in the Army during a very minor incident involving Indians, called the Blackhawk War. New Salem, which is about 20 miles (30 km) northwest of Springfield, has been rebuilt as it looked in the 1830s. |
