"Lincoln Guidance Wanted" response

Here in the "Yankee" borough of the Bronx in NYC, where the American author from Virginia, Edgar Allan Poe once walked and talked on the Jesuit's Fordham University, (inspired perhaps by the bells of the chapel finally released from the "clutch" of the WFUV radio tower, a newer one next to the football field was 11' too close to the Botanical Gardens and so it is now FCC approved atop Montefiore Hospital, probably by its former Secretary of State's son Michael Powell, now next to the once also fought EPA mandated filtration plant taken over from "crooks" to be determined in court by Skanska going from $1 to $2 billion) President Lincoln contracted with Janes and Kirtland for a little over $1 million to cast and assemble the Capitol Dome, replacing the "hat box". I am given to understand he thought it an important symbol our unity, whom had previously built the cast iron fireproof Library of Congress since superseded by our literary output. I worked on the site of the West Point Foundry in Cold Spring, NY where he witnessed the firing of R. P. Parrott's patented (1861) rifled cannon later (1863) used in the incendiary civilian bombardment of Charleston, South Carolina, named the "Swamp Angel" which blew apart later investigated by the Congress. It had been produced in the first federal facility to have a labor dispute over government run production. Another Hudson River foundry owner, was contracted by the Confederacy to build a powder mill said based on the London Crystal Palace brochures handed out and outside of Atlanta, Georgia its thought if it had been found might have shortened the civil war considerably, it was made very efficiently.

Later, the statue at the Lincoln Memorial was created and then reproduced from sections of the smaller statue by a Bronx, New York firm.

2 Blowhards: Comment on Lincoln Guidance Wanted (Sunday June 17, 2007 "In 1880 Bernhardt allegedly saved the life of Mary Todd Lincoln, widow of President Abraham Lincoln. A ship, l’Amérique, was traveling from Nice to New York when it was hit by an enormous wave that knocked down Mrs. Lincoln and sent her rolling across the deck toward a companionway. As she was about to plunge headfirst down the stairs, Bernhardt managed to grab one of her legs and save her." Wikipedia entry on French actress Sarah Bernhardt)
