Description

Abraham Lincoln was once the first President of the US to wear a beard. What gave him the idea was once a letter he received from an eleven-year-old girl from Westfield, New York named Grace Bedell. “Dear Sir,” she wrote, ” . . . if you are going to let your whiskers grow I can attempt to get (my brothers) to vote for you. You can look a perfect deal better to your face is so thin. The entire ladies like whiskers and they might tease their husbands to vote for you . . .”
