"Our One Common Country" author talk in Stratford, CT

[LincolnToddFan]

I have a pretty long fuse, but Michael Burlingame and his unbridled misogyny... obvious on so many levels.. has caused me to reach a boiling point.

I shouldn't be surprised that he attempted to inject his irrational hatred of Lincoln's wife into the Spielberg film, but it makes me very angry just the same. THANK GOODNESS HE WAS IGNORED. Is it not enough for him that his magnum opus, "Abraham Lincoln,A Life" is largely devoted to drumming up sympathy for how bad the poor 6'4'', freakishly strong Abe had it as the battered husband of the barely 5 foot tall Mary, and that the nonsense it contains about the Lincoln marriage will likely be considered gospel for Lincoln students in years to come??

I am so tired of and disgusted with this man I can't say more without slipping into EXPLETIVE DELETED territory.

In fact, maybe I'd better take a little break and cool off, then come back.
