The story behind a summer spent on Lincoln Highway, one of Pa.’s most historic routes.
For years I avoided doing a project on the Lincoln Highway. It had been the domain of my former colleague, Eric Mencher, and his wife, Kass, who traveled the roadway coast-to-coast between 1997 and 2009 and published a wonderful book of photography,. I thought I had a different perspective to offer, having lived most of my life in Pennsylvania, but I did not intrude.
As if it were preordained, Bob Mann arrived at the memorial for Lillie Belle and York Police Officer Henry Schaad minutes after I had. He was making his daily stop in Farquhar Park to make sure the flowers were fresh and to clean the granite benches of the memorial. It was the 1,452nd consecutive day he had done this. “They hold a special place in my heart. ... I don’t want these people to be forgotten,” said Mann, who witnessed the gang shooting of Lillie Belle as a 14-year-old.

On the Lincoln Highway: a photographer's journalWhile the Pennsylvania portion of the Lincoln Highway may not be the grandest of roadways, it may be the most American in the manner that it speaks to the fabric of who we are as a country. Between the carnage of Gettysburg and the brave actions of the passengers on Flight 93, you can visit the room where Lincoln penned the Gettysburg Address and the house where abolitionist John Brown plotted a rebellion of slaves. Along the way motorists can cross the Susquehanna River, what is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in the world. It is the place to find “the mystic chords of memory” and “the better angels of our nature” that Lincoln spoke of. This gallery is a supplement to the images in the main presentation of this story.
