RE: Did William Coggeshall Save Lincoln's Life?
From a quick perusal, I find no reference to William Coggeshall in Donald's biography or in White's, nor in the Fehrenbachers' Recollected Words. He is mentioned twice, though, in Burlingame's biography: he was secretary to the governor of Ohio and a confidante of Treasury secretary Salmon Chase. No mention of any hand grenades.
I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863) |
