Lincoln's Voice

Lincoln's Voice is found in the Museum of History Offices. It is located in the Library (the 2-story room with the turret), upstairs, on a desk to the left of the hole blown in the main room up there.

This item is literally Lincoln's voice. It appears to have been created on a Phonautograph, an early recording device invented by Frenchman Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville in 1857. Hannibal Hamlin will give you 50 caps for it, 100 with a speech check. Also, Abraham Washington will pay you 60 caps, and 120 after a speech check.

The recording is part of the unmarked Lincoln's Profit Margins quest.

Behind the scenes

 * This is a reference to a legend that such a recording was actually made of Lincoln's voice in 1863 by de Martinville himself. Since the story did not appear until the 1960s, its authenticity is questionable.
