Abraham Lincoln - 16th President of the United States - Graphite
An iconic figure in American history, with the exception of Jesus, Lincoln has more books written about him than any other person, over 15,000. He created the Secret Service just a few hours before he was assassinated - their original mission though was to combat counterfeiting. He’s the only president to have a patent, and his son’s life was saved by Edwin Booth, the brother of John Wilkes Booth. While he is known as the Great Emancipator, the document he’s known for only freed those slaves living in states not under Union control.
