Quote:I must admit that I have not yet seen the Lincoln movie. However, a friend of mine just sent a three-page article from Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture, May 2013 issue, that rips the movie, Day-Lewis, and Hollywood's version of Lincoln and Civil War history to shreds. The author of the piece is Clyde Wilson, a retired history professor and author of a number of books. He's not much kinder to Redford's The Conspirator either.
Hopefully someone more computer literate than I can locate this article online and post a link. I'm going to say right up front, however, that 99% of those who post here are going to hate this article.

Here is what is on the
Chronicles of American Culture website:

Definitely NOT the magazine article - but I guess close enough....
