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. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
