Additional Details

The three candidates opposing Lincoln struggle to break into the White House--Douglas fiddles with a set of keys while Bell stands guard, and lame duck President Buchanan tries to haul Breckinridge through a window. Lincoln comes around the corner carrying a rail sharpened into a spear: "You needn't think to catch me napping; for I am a regular Wide Awake." Reilly 1860-40.
