The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) has updated its history exhibit with the new display Lincoln and His Printers: GPO in the Civil War. GPO opened for business on March 4, 1861, the same day Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as the 16th president. The leader of GPO at that time was John D. Defrees, a friend and advisor to President Lincoln. The new display features four authentic documents from the Library of Congress showing the close working relationship between President Lincoln and Defrees. These documents are from Defrees to President Lincoln offering advice, introducing people of significance, and conducting business.
