Although Illinois enjoys the indisputable title of "The Land of
Lincoln," one small town in New York State played a significant
role in the history of the 16th president. Three native sons of
Homer---a detective, a journalist, and a painter---helped to
inscribe Abraham Lincoln's place in the nation's iconic imagery.
Private investigator Eli DeVoe foiled an assassination plot against
Lincoln before his first inauguration, journalist William Osborn
Stoddard rose from an early booster of Lincoln's political career
to become an influential secretary of the president, and artist
Francis Bicknell Carpenter painted The First Reading of the
Emancipation Proclamation before the Cabinet, the renowned painting
that still hangs in the U.S. Capitol. This exploration of these men
and the town that produced them offers insight into the
complexities of presidential image-making and reveals why the
Lincoln Forum Bulletin has named Homer "a new Lincoln mecca."]
