When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, fifteen-year-old Dan French had no way to know that one day his tribute to the great president would transform a plot of Washington, DC marshland into Americas gathering place. He did not even know that a sculptor was something to be. He only knew that he liked making things with his hands. This is the story of how a farm boy became Americas foremost sculptor. This is also the story of the Lincoln Memorial, Frenchs culminating masterpiece. Author: Linda Booth Sweeney. Paperback; 64 pages.
