Friendly Trees, Hallowed Ground: An Expression of Sentiment and Reason. Historic Grounds Report, Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial

摘要

The special history study investigates the initial landscaping plans for the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial (now part of Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial), and the historic landscaping of the formal memorial grounds. Based primarily on extent landscaping plans and historic photographs of the area, it draws some conclusions concerning the historic appearance of the landscaped portions of the memorial, and offers some observation/recommendations for the restoration of the formally landscaped grounds.
