Every Known Photograph of Abraham Lincoln




Every known photograph taken of Abraham Lincoln from 1846 to his death in 1865.

The three songs that appear in order are:

Lincoln and Liberty - 1860 campaign song, written by Jesse Hutchinson of the Hutchinson Family Singers.

Dixie - Lincoln's favorite song; although strongly associated with the south and the Confederacy, it was actually composed by a northerner, Daniel Decatur Emmett.

Ashokan Farewell - The emotional theme song of the Ken Burns documentary "The Civil War". Many believe it was a song from that era, but it was in fact composed in 1982 by Jay Ungar. LINK: Youtube
