Temple of the Union

Temple of the Union is a small group of escaped slaves that are trying to create a haven for other runaway slaves. Their leader, Hannibal Hamlin, has a dream of creating a place for slaves that they can protect from Slavers.

Description
The Temple of the Union is located northwest of Canterbury Commons. You will be given the location on your map if you help out Mei Wong or slaves in the Scrapyard or removing a collar from a slave successfully, or you can find a map on the corpse of a dead, presumably a failed runaway, slave near Paradise Falls.

Abraham Lincoln's Head can initially be found here, although it is unclear how it arrived at this location. Completing the quest Head of State can result in the head being moved to Lincoln Memorial. It is possible that the items were being repaired or stolen.

The name "Temple of the Union" comes from the words above Lincoln's statue at the Lincoln memorial. The passage reads, "In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever.” On the block Caleb is working on, the words "Temple of the Union" are visible, with the others faded out. Presumably, the block arrived at the building at the same time as the statue's head.

Notable loot

 * Pre-War Book in Caleb's room, which must be stolen.
 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor in the abandoned Raider fort on the collapsed highway to the southwest of the Temple. The Raider fort is unpopulated until you complete Head of State.
 * Grognak the Barbarian in the same abandoned highway fort as the one above. (Spawns after finishing the Head of State quest).
 * Pre-War Book in the same place with the others skill books. (Spawns after finishing the Head of State quest)

Behind the scenes

 * The inhabitants are named after members of Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet. Hannibal Hamlin was Vice President, Caleb Smith was Secretary of the Interior, William "Bill" Seward was Secretary of State, and Simon(e) Cameron was Secretary of War. The dog Four Score is named for the opening words from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address (Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent...)

Hannibal Hamlin is similar to Hannibal Traven in The Elder Scrolls IV which he is arch mage of the mages guild.
