A Symposium of Lectures and Articles on Military Mapping Section Three: Two Views from Inside Lincoln’s Office

Two articles:

"Since I Came to This Place" describes President Lincoln's White House Office.

The second article describes Francis Carpenter's famous painting. All of the items shown in the painting, from the pictures on the wall to the papers on the floor, have some significance in relation to the preparation and presentation of the Emancipation Proclamation. Nothing is incidental.
