Believe it or not Abraham Lincoln actually was a vampire hunter of some renown back in the day. In fact, he was so successful, that I can assure you that tourists coming to Springfield, Illinois to see the Presidential Library, his home or New Salem will find their visit remarkably vampire free. We just don't hold with vampires in Springfield.

I've not read it, so I have no idea how truthful this novel is, but it has long been rumored that his girlfriend in New Salem, Ann Rutledge had been taken by Vampires and that had fueled not only his intolerance of the undead, but his first major bout with "melancholia" that drove him to near suicide.

All that is known with certainty, that over the next 15 years, every vampire (EVERY vampire) in Central Illinois developed a sudden urge to move to the swamps of Louisiana. Let's just say, the law wasn't the only reason he rode the circuit.
