The recent bumper crop of Lincoln movies has obviously helped bump up my traffic, especially in the past few weeks.  In fact, of the top twelve search terms of the past month, seven involve some combination of “Lincoln” and “Ethan Allen,” so that scene in Spielberg’s movie that I got such a kick out of must have made an impression on a lot of other people, too.
