Abraham Lincoln's First Rocking Chair

My last post was a photo of the rocking chair Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot.  Here is another rocking chair of Lincoln's, from happier days (though that's not saying much, is it). 

This rocker is in the Union Pacific Railroad Museum in Council Bluffs, IA.  When the Lincoln family left Springfield for Washington, they sold their house and many of their possessions. This rocking chair, used by Lincoln in his Springfield law office, was purchased at Lincoln's sale by a Springfield family.

Could use a cushion, I think.
