NEW YORK, May 21 (Xinhua) -- Some artifacts of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Foundation's prized collection, loaned out and displayed in museums and historical sites across the United States, are up for auction on Wednesday as the foundation seeks to pay off its long-lingering debts.

"A page from a childhood workbook. Remnants from the campaign trail. The small cuff button he wore on the night he died. These yellowing relics offer a glimpse into the legendary life of President Abraham Lincoln," reported The Washington Post about the move.
