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.
Readers are invited to the companion web site
