Abraham Lincoln: "Big enough to be inconsistent."

[RJNorton]

Jim, it continues to amaze me how Lincoln is scrutinized. I certainly cannot imagine someone writing a single sentence, let alone a paragraph, about my walk! I think I read that Daniel Day-Lewis spent a year preparing for the role, and I believe Doris Kearns Goodwin included Herndon's description in her book. So I am thinking the actor did practice walking like this. Maybe somebody has read something specific on this.
