RE: Lincoln and Ann Rutledge
(04-06-2016 06:56 AM)LincolnMan Wrote:  Quoting from William Herndon's book Lincoln And Ann Rutledge:
"Abraham Lincoln loved Miss Ann Rutledge with all his soul, mind, and strength. She loved him as dearly, tenderly, and affectionately." Page 39.

Seems more than a bit over the top!

I don't why I just happened to open up this book this morning but when I did and read the passage I thought: really????

Some think that Herndon exaggerated aspects of the Ann Rutledge story because of the mutual antipathy between himself and Mary Todd Lincoln.
I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863)
