Hi Pam. I do like the book and consider it an all-important resource. At the same time I was very serious when I made my comparison to Herndon's writings. Over the past 3+ years this forum has had many, many discussions of Herndon. We have learned that we simply cannot accept everything Herndon says as 100% true. Still, he provides an irreplaceable resource when studying Lincoln's life. I view Weichmann's book in the same way - a key resource that should be read with a judicious, discerning eye.

Pamela, just to clarify, I agreed on that - like the book and consider it an all-important resource but am sceptical all he says is true (or the entire truth).
