lincoln and herndon. it did cause friction between mary and lincoln. i think it was jealousy from herndon and mary. herndon was jealous of lincoln's relationship with mary. and mary was jealous of herndon because lincoln spent so much time with him. he was gone early morning to almost late evening to do law. >> we're coming up on the old state capitol to the left. in this place, lincoln practiced law. he was in the legislature here in this building. mary came into this building two very important times to me. one was when she washed and give the house divided speech. the most important was when she watched him give up votes to mr. turnbull for the legislature to go to the u.s. congress. he turned over some votes to him that were given to mr. lincoln. and mary was very disheartened that he would give up a legislative post to another man, as opposed to asking him to turn over his votes to him. mary was very hard on mr. lincoln about that. if you turn into this parking lot to the left, this would have been where elijah and simeon francis's house would have been sitting in this vicinity. >> who were the

. >> abraham and mary lincoln lived in this home from 1844 to 1861. lincoln was elected congressman in 1846 and president in 1860. linching concxds con's son donated the family home to the state of illinois in 1887. coming up, we speak with michael burlinga mmp e. >> springfield with was the town linchingon lived from 28 until the time he left for washington until 51. he was born in kentucky and spent seven years there and moved toll indiana and spent 20 years there. moved to illinois and spent some time in new salem north of springfield. springfield is where he spent the years of his most important development. >> when he left springfield he said to this town and to these people, he was very devoted. when he was asked what do you plan to do when you retire, he said i plan to move pack to springfield. my wife does president want to but that's what i want to do. from november 1860 to february f 1861, lincoln had been elected and the south threatened to se crmpemp de. they thought this was a way to intimidate to vote democratic because if they voted repu

mary lincoln what was in such protracted mourning that they thought she would be a pushover. they told her they would build it at the railroad station in springfield from which lincoln had departed to go to washington in 1861, and it was going to be really good because it would build some hotels there and people could get off the train, buy a postcard, buy lunch, and get back on the train, and we keep sweeping in the tourists. and she said that's what you think. she said my husband and i helped , found a rural cemetery at oakridge, just outside of town. that's now part of town. we really believed in this idea of a bucolic cemetery like mount auburn in boston. like greenwood in brooklyn, and that's where he's going, and they said don't be silly. he can't possibly go to such a remote area with the statue that we have planned, and she said, if he doesn't go there, i'm taking him to chicago. and she did influence that serenity that still exists in oakridge cemetery. is it fair to think of lincoln as a refounding father, since he presided over the union's dissolution and eventual r

in her autobiography, mary lincoln's seamstress and companion, a former slave, reported an incident that took place in petersburg, virginia in april of 1865, near the end of the civil war. lincoln and his wife had visited petersburg after it came under union control. the city and its surrounding natural landscape had suffered damage during the union siege of petersburg that had lasted more than nine months. departing from petersburg, lincoln insisted his visiting party stop to view and a tree on the outskirts -- oak tree on the outskirts that attracted his attention. she said he and members of his party took a second look at the isolated and magnificent specimen of the stately grandeur of the forest. every member of the party was only too willing to a siege to the president's request and to visit the tree, it was made and much enjoyed. perhaps lincoln admired the tree for its resilience during the long siege of petersburg. perhaps the tree suggested nature's endurance despite the damage brought upon natural landscapes by human beings. perhaps lincoln has sensed the natural environment sy

of course, for its theater is significant in relation to president lincoln, as he was in the presidential box with his wife mary on april 14, 1865 for a performance of "our american cousin." after john wilkes booth shot the president as he watched the play. the president died from his wounds the next morning.

lincoln observatory. you can make out a little bit of snow on the hill and the roof of the observatory building.>> skiing in oakland, mary sent us this video of a skier making their way down the way. bill martin is here now with a look at the conditions. it was really hailing this afternoon. >> it just depended on where you were. some areas like san jose are getting hammered earlier today, they did not have much going on. most areas had a quarter of an inch except fremont came in at .6. the low pressure center has been slow to leave. it is snowing in the mountains now and they continue to get three or 4 inches of snow at a time. that low-pressure, you can see it right here. that is the deal right here. the system is starting to track off. it is still pulling in a lot of cold and stable air. in san jose, look at the storms moving up the way here. thunder and lightning. this line of showers is moving off in this direction. you're probably hearing some of the rumbles right now but you will also see some as the potential of the ground heating up. it allows for dying down. we still have an active complex in san jose. when i c

jordan in lincoln, everyone was asking this morning to stopjordan in lincoln, christine and busayo as well. on the point we heard from mariethat, marks out of ten for impartiality over this whole piece. jordan? seven. chris lynn? seven. busayo? six. that went quite well, considering. christine, ithink busayo? six. that went quite well, considering. christine, i think you have a question chris morris can deal with, and thank you forjoining us. thank you, good morning. the economic confidence in the eurozone is falling quite considerably. today, the guardian reported that factories are suffering contraction isa factories are suffering contraction is a step then using the youth unemployment rates. it is not a healthy project to want to stay tied to. chris morris? there is no question the eurozone has some problems. one of the reasons why other countries want brexit sorted one way or another is they feel they are spending too much time on this endless argument with the uk. they know they have other things to deal with, notjust the health of know they have other things to deal with, not just the health of the eurozone but quest

mary certainly encourages the idea. i'm being ironic by putting the photo of norman judd next to her because she hated norman judd but he was the president of the republican party. and lincoln corresponds with judd, and he says, i appear to be a candidate, i am not too far in, not a lot of people are for me, but i'm getting there. and, it is my understanding that you are going to vote on where the convention will be. and i think it might help me if it is in illinois. and when they have the national committee meeting, we still have democratic meetings they make decisions, it turns out chicago beat st. louis by one vote to host the convention. it is judd's vote. where this will end up being valuable, first of all, if you go to a sports book, home-field advantage is worth a few points. lincoln has home-field advantage. what it is going to do is stack the gallery as they call it. but they are going to do is give tickets out to people who will come yell for lincoln. the people on the floor of the convention or voting are like wow, listen to that. they love lincoln. it may have been judd, may have been somebody else but they hired a couple of professional screamers. every now and
