Things Lincoln never said

[Steve Whitlock]

It's not in Herndon's Lincoln.
If Lincoln had said that to Herndon, I would think he would have added it in his biography of Lincoln.

This is what Herndon did say (p 2-4)

Thank you, Gene. I have the buggy ride page information, and I think Mr Peterson got confused, or went by something he thought he remembered.

At any rate I'm mainly trying to discern where Christopher Columbus Graham got the quote. Which leads me to wonder that if we accept Herndon's word, why must we discard the sworn testimony of Dr Graham, even tho he has errors in the statements. Does that discredit the whole testimony. Well, I've already discarded much of what he said, but that one quote haunts me. Perhaps I need an exorcism.
