Did You Know?

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: There are many inaccuracies regarding the layout of the White House. In Lincoln's day, the second floor Yellow Oval Room served as a library, not as his office. The cabinet room is incorrectly placed in the State Dining Room on the first floor. The current Lincoln Bedroom served as both Lincoln's office and cabinet room (hence the name) during his presidency. See more »

Quotes

Abraham Lincoln: To run away when someone is shooting guns at you is a sensible reaction, I think it would be my own.
Abraham Lincoln: Faced with a battery of guns, I might find myself some nice tree to rest behind.
