Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[L Verge]

"L Verge, I'm curious. Why the remark about Burlingame bubbles? For myself, I find him puzzling. He's a meticulous scholar in many ways but seems to have blind spots a mile wide."

I can only answer that I feel the same way as you. Dr. Burlingame is a wonderful researcher, but I think he stretches a bit in writing the outcome of that research. I also have a personal "grudge" against him for his Herndon-like hatred of Mrs. Lincoln!
