Abby and LincolnThe Backward Glance is the blog of Lincoln and Abby Mullen. Lincoln writes about history, and Abby writes the personal news that people want to read. The “backward glance” in the title of the blog refers both to the study of history and to the history of our lives together. The allusion is to the poem “On a Vulgar Error,” by C. S. Lewis.
