Website Logs Lincoln's Daily LIfe
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- If you ever wondered what President Abraham Lincoln was doing 150 years ago to the day, now you'll have your answer.

The Abraham Lincoln Association has launched a new website called ``The Lincoln Log.'' The searchable website offers short notes on what Lincoln was involved in that particular day.

For example, on Aug. 22, 1860, the website says ``Lincoln declines invitation to horse show at Springfield, Mass.'' And on Aug. 24, 1860, the website says ``Lincoln writes long autobiographical letter to his relative John Hanks of Macon County.''

The website offers a chronology for each day of Lincoln's life from 1809 to 1865.
