John C. Calhoun photographed by Mathew Brady in 1849, shortly before his death. Calhoun served as the seventh Vice President of United States under both John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson.
Today in 1863, Lincoln poses for a series of photographs taken by Alexander Gardner in Washington. This famous image is one of those pictures. My personal favorite.
I'm not sitting around counting the years. I'd rather fill them with good experiences, interesting people, a little adventure and memories worth keeping. What are you still looking forward to in life? 🌷
