RE: An "out-of-character" moment for Lincoln?
Honestly, I find this very disappointing. Even if the guy had it coming there had to be another way. I believe this is one of the stories James Matheny (best man at Lincoln's wedding) told to William Herndon. I think Matheny admitted to being part of the group who helped Lincoln drag the guy to the post. Bill, I'd have to say it's probably true unless we have reason to doubt Matheny's word.
