I haven't watched the Lincoln movie for a while, but I think that it presented a scene based almost verbatim on Keckly's account. I had long been under the impression that Robert wanted to join the army early on but had been deterred by MTL (and/or others). I'm sure I read something to fuel that impression, but don't know where - it was not directly from Keckly's account, I do know that. I probably read from a secondary source that referenced Keckley. The language used in her account is very familiar. |
