RE: Apology Comes 150 Years Later

Mike,

According to Gabor Boritt's The Gettysburg Gospel, he said that while Lincoln expected harsh reaction from the Democratic press, he must have been disappointed in the weak reaction from Republican papers, but there is no written evidence of his feelings. I've not heard of anything other than Lamon's statement, and I think most of the later accounts were based on that.
