Lincoln's Magician

[STS Lincolnite]

It really is a fascinating article. It was written by Jason H. Silverman. Unfortunately, because it's MHQ's cover story they have not put it online or I would have included a link. I'm sure that MHQ will be glad to sell and send you a copy

Thanks Jerry. I misstated above. I meant to say buy online, not get online. I figured that with a new publication it wouldn't be available for free.

I actually know Jason Silverman. He is a very recently retired history professor at Winthrop and wrote "Lincoln and the Immigrant" in the Concise Lincoln Series from SIU press. I had the pleasure of having dinner with him (and Angela from this forum) while in Washington DC for the Abraham Lincoln Institute Conference a couple of years ago. And, yes, the restaurant we ate at was Lincoln. Jason is a very nice guy.
