Thank you, Roger, Gene, and ELCore.

Doris Kearns Goodwin carried this mistake to her book "Team of Rivals at page 437. The source of her mistake, according to her notes at page 827, was a New York Times article published on March 11, 1862. [I have not taken the time to verfiy this by reading the actual NYTimes article online.)
