Lincoln Cottage April 9 Event with Don Doyle and Sidney Blumenthal

[Don1946]

Thanks Eva and L, yes, Sidney Blumenthal is about to come out with the first of a three volume biography of Lincoln. The Cottage likes to pair authors with Washington figures, and in this case they also have another author. The Lincoln Cottage is I suppose my favorite Lincoln historic site. I first visited there in 2010 when I was just beginning work on my book and I kept coming back with those who visited during the year I was in DC. There is something about that place, its association with the Lincoln family, Walt Whitman (who witnessed Lincoln coming and going), and of course the Emancipation Proclamation, which was drafted there, that makes it all a very special Lincoln site.
