Lincoln's Herndon by David Herbert Donald

[Eva Elisabeth]

I don't have this one, Gene, but I have Donald's "We are Lincoln Men" which has a "Herndon chapter", too. The book is about those who claimed they had been A. L.'s closest friends, and Donald examines the respective kind of relationship. The other chapters are on his boyhood friends, on Speed, on Browning, on Seward, and on Hay and Nicolay. I absolutely recommend "We are Lincoln Men" as well as the other of his works I read.
