May 28, 2009 Fortsat fra sidste side ~ Continued from last page Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, Lincoln City, Spencer County, Indiana The Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial is located on Highway 162 near Lincoln City, Spencer County, Indiana.   I eftermiddag besøgte vi Abraham Lincolns drengehjem i Indiana, som Lincoln-familien flyttede til, da Abraham var syv år gammel. This afternoon we visited Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home in Indiana, where the family moved when Abe was seven years old.               Lincoln familien kom til Indiana fra Kentucky i 1816 ad denne vej, som i dag kaldes Lincoln-sporet. The Lincoln family came to Indiana from Kentucky in 1816 by this road, today called the Lincoln Trace.

Resterne af Lincoln-familiens hytte er blevet bronzeret. The remnants of the Lincoln family cabin have been bronzed.         I 1818, knap to år efter ankomsten til Indiana, døde Abraham Lincolns mor, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, af mælkesyge, som opstår når malkekvæg spiser planten Hvid Hjortetrøst, som forgifter mælken. In 1818, just under two years after arriving in Indiana, Abe Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, died from milk sickness, which is caused by cattle eating white snakeroot, which poisons their milk.

Ved siden af ruinerne af den oprindelige Lincoln hytte ligger denne kopi. Efter Abraham Lincolns far, Thomas, giftede sig igen, boede otte mennesker her. Next to the remnants of the original Lincoln cabin lies this reproduction. After Abraham Lincoln's father, Thomas, remarried, eight people were living in this house.

Sidst på eftermiddagen drog vi vestpå igen. Vi fræsede gennem Illinois, og er nu i Saint Louis, Missouri, hvor vi skal overnatte. Late afternoon we headed west again. We zoomed through Illinois and are now in Saint Louis Missouri, where we'll spend the night.
