Another Lincoln Movie

[ninabeth13]

Rob, I was able to get a copy of Lavern Hamand's dissertation from the Danville Public Library. It was extremely useful in researching Ward Hill Lamon because there is no other full-length work devoted to him.

"Saving Lincoln" is about Lincoln seen through Lamon's eyes; it is not primarily about Lamon himself, so most of what appears in Hamand's work does not appear in our movie. Lamon himself had quite a colorful life, and wound up trading stories with Mark Twain in Paris in the 1870's.
