Thanks, Karen. The Lincoln popularity train keeps a movin'

Thank you so much for sharing this! I look forward to seeing this film when it comes out.

I would be interested in seeing this movie. She was a big influence in Abe's life and encouraged his eagerness to read and learn. From what i understand they got along famously. She was quoted as saying she "never had a cross word with him"

Interesting!!!

I am a big fan of Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln.

As Mark Neely once said, in the vast body of Lincoln literature, there is nary a negative word to say about her!
