Exhibit To Feat Lincoln Idaho Legacy

Newly elected President Abraham Lincoln sat for more than an hour with plaster drying on his face, to create a life mask that then was used to fashion statues of the imposing man. Five years later, in 1865, he sat for another life mask - and the difference in his features is remarkable, showing him horribly aged by the Civil War. A look that intimate at the 16th president — who during those years also established Idaho Territory — isn’t easy to come by, but thanks to a major donation to the state of Idaho by former Idaho Attorney General and Lt. Gov. David Leroy and his wife, Nancy, it’s part of a unique collection documenting Lincoln and his ties to Idaho that will go on display to the public in a specially designed gallery next year/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.

Question: Who do you consider the greater president — Abraham Lincoln or George Washington? Is there any president you consider better than either of these men?
