Does Abe Lincoln Have Ties to My Hometown?

In Six Degrees of Abraham Lincoln, author Katharine Kendzy Gingold answers that question. Using the Six Degrees of Separation theory, made popular recently by actor Kevin Bacon, Gingold identifies connections between our sixteenth President and a surprising number of Chicagoland communities near her home.
