Of all of the 102 counties in Illinois today, there are only five intimately associated with the "prairie years " of President Lincoln's life; a tier that might be called the "Abraham Lincoln Counties. " And of these five, Macon County, located in what is now the rich corn and soybean belt of east central Illinois, has the distinction of being the locale of the first act of the Lincoln drama in the Prairie State; a drama that came to a momentous climax in The Wigwam at Chicago where, in 1860, the one-time rail-splitter of Macon County was nominated for the Presidency.
