Suggest you try the Lincoln Legal Papers project at the Illinois at Old
State Capitol, Springfield, Ill 62701, 217-785-9130. They have done a
wonderful job tracking down Lincoln legal materials and are still very
much active...

Subject: Case argued by Abraham Lincoln

Hi:

We're looking for a case in which Abraham Lincoln was an attorney
for a
railroad owning a bridge over the Mississippi River. A lawsuit was
filed
as a result of a collision between a boat and the bridge. We have
checked
WESTLAW and LEXIS and have had no luck finding the case. If
anyone is
familiar with it and can tell us the case name and/or cite, or can
suggest
any other sources we might check, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
