TIME TO REST; LINCOLN AND TAD

Tad
Bronze limited edition of 25

The boy Tad meant more to Lincoln than anyone else.


They were chums.


"Often I sat by Tad's father reporting to him about some important matter," wrote Charles A. Dana, "and he would have this boy on his knee; and while he would perfectly understand the report, the striking thing about him was . . . his attention for the child."


The boy did things in a rush.


"I was once sitting with the President in the library," wrote Noah Brooks, "when Tad tore into the room in search of something, and having found it, he threw himself on his father like a small thunderbolt, gave him one wild, fierce hug, and without a word, fled from the room . . ."
