RE: Mary's Reputation
Although I believe that Lincoln loved Ann Rutledge, I think Herndon's lecture was designed only to embarrass Mary, and showed very poor taste. I think it's interesting to note that Herndon's poor reputation among some historians did not elevate Mary's. I think Roger hit it on the head in that one cannot put it all at Herndon's feet.
