RE: Tarbell on Otto Eisenschiml
Agreed Roger and Laurie. I cannot see such a huge conspiracy in the North, although we sometimes forget just how unpopular Lincoln was, even among his own citizenry in the North. I'm not sure about Benjamin, but I must admit to not studying the question in that great a depth.
Laurie, I'm going through now what Tarbell thinks of Emanuel Hertz, but I won't post that until I get through the remainder of the letters to and from her, which should take me about a week or so (the woman wrote a lot in her life).
Thanks for the compliments.
Best
Rob
