"Loathing Lincoln: An American Tradition From the Civil War to the Present"

[L Verge]

"As for my writing on Lincoln's assassination, it was a narrowly defined topic (M.A. Thesis) on how Texans responded to his death (many were quite happy Lincoln had been killed, but worried too now that Andrew Johnson was his successor)."

Boy, are you and Bill Richter of this forum going to enjoy conversations on the Texans and their reaction to Lincoln's assassination, and I'm sure, the spill-over into Reconstruction because that is Bill's particular specialty. I believe he has written extensively on it. Word of warning: Bill will tell you right up front that he is "unreconstructed."
