It was dismantled by John Hanks, Lincoln's second cousin, and taken to Chicago and then to Boston. The last sighting of it, as least as far as we can ascertain, was at P.T.

Horace
You are an over-excited little man, with a need for self-expression far beyond the scope of your natural gifts. This is not discreditable. Neither does it make you an artist. Tom Stoppard
And following its path, we took no care. To rest, but climbed: he first, then I-- so far, Through a round aperture I saw appear. Some of the beautiful things that Heaven bears, Where we came forth, and once more saw the stars. Dante Alighieri
