Other people\u2019s faces claimed to be seen in Lincoln\u2019s tousled hair are Ulysses Grant and Jefferson Davis.  As for the sign language, it does appear that Lincoln\u2019s hands are in the position to sign \u201cA\u201d and \u201cL\u201d in American Sign Language, but the statue\u2019s sculptor, Daniel Chester French, has denied that this was at all intentional.  Finally, Lincoln is not buried in or under the monument, but it is perhaps understandable why the Memorial would be mistaken for his tomb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14.
