About Me

Geoff Elliott: Ohio, United States; My name is Geoff Elliott. I've studied the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln for well over 40 years. I'm an avocational historian. In other words, history is not my profession, but it is my passion. I created this blog several years ago to share facts, news, and other interesting tidbits about Mr. Lincoln. In addition to this blog, I also operate the Twitter account "Lincoln Belongs To the Ages (@Mr_Lincoln) as well as a Facebook page of the same title. I've been interviewed about Mr. Lincoln by radio stations and newspapers across the country, including "The Hill" and "The New York Post." I've also given several lectures and talks about Lincoln throughout my home state of Ohio.
