RE: The book proposal
Thanks Gene. When I talk in the outline of the first chapter about how she remembered Lincoln, that will include some early biographical material. Her birth in a log cabin, seeing her father and mother crying after Lincoln's assassination and seeing the veterans of the war in parades, etc. Also, when I cover her years at Allegheny College, there will be some biographical material as well. I agree too with your comments about people's remembrance of history, but I think it's possible to go back only half that time before many people's eyes glaze over.

Best
Rob

Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.
