There is also a book on the cemeteries of Coles County, entitled The Prairie Sleeps, which contains several notable historical tidbits and is much more readable than the "official" county history. Wachholder0 18:09, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
It is very clear that Mattoon was not a Lincoln-Douglas debate town. Every source I can find says the debate happened in Charleston, Illinois. Even the linked-to transcript of the debate says "Charleston" at the top in enormous letters. Fishal 04:13, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
