These Past Years
Young Vinnie Ream
A few years after this youthful photograph was taken
(not sure about date but I'm guessing 1860-61,
when she was 14 or so),
her ambitions and talent took her to ...
Vinnie and the Lincoln Bust
... this moment.
Indefatigable
Such energy that people called her
a hummingbird
Belief in her talent --
by her teacher and her family
And by President Lincoln
