RE: Another Lincoln Movie
When I was a student at Eastern Illinois University, there was a professor there named Lavern M. Hamand, who was one of James G. Randall's students. I never had any classes with Hamand, but later I found out that he has written the fullest history of the life of Lamon called Ward Hill Lamon: Lincoln's Particular Friend. Hamand wrote it in 1949, but as far as I know it was never published outside of his dissertation. I happened to see it when I was doing research in Urbana. I would like to see it in full someday, just to get his interpretation of the man.

I have always wished I would have been more cognizant of the fact that Hamand was one of Randall's students and talked with him about the man, but at that time I hadn't the interest in Randall that I have now.

As an aside, when Everton J. Conger came back to Washington after Lincoln's assassination, he wrote of traveling with Lamon back to D.C.

Welcome aboard, Nina.
