Follow me on:

Lincoln Bicentennial StampIt's Abraham Lincoln's bicentennial birthday tomorrow. You can cram a pretty quick history lesson into your day by reviewing how the post office condensed his life into just four postage stamps.

The United States Postal Service began selling these commemorative stamps on Monday. They'll also have an official ceremony tomorrow, February 12, at the Chicago History Museum at noon.
