DID YOU KNOW?

When he was inaugurated in March 1861, Abraham Lincoln was the first US President with a full beard. He grew the beard because an 11-year-old girl, Grace Bedell, wrote to him and suggested it, saying it would enable her to convince her four older brothers to vote for him. Lincoln was also the tallest of all US Presidents, at 6'4".
