Here's an interesting little web piece from www.doctorzebra.com, The Health and Medical History of President Abraham Lincoln, for Thanksgiving Day. www.doctorzebra.com/prez/g16.htm

He nearly drowned in Knob Creek when he was nine years old. Scars, kicks in the head, genetic make-up and maladies. Marfan Syndrome? He had type A blood.

I haven't read it carefully yet. But, a man who got democracy and the powers of the brain, who brought us the national holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving.
