Did William Coggeshall Save Lincoln's Life?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Very nice response from Ms. Jackson, Roger. I also think that what she sent is about as far as we are going to get in determining the validity of Coggeshall's (or his descendants') claims regarding the ties to Lincoln. There is no mention in his papers evidently, so if the story is true (and I don't think it is), Coggeshall kept his promise of secrecy to Mr. Lincoln.

Maybe it's in "a Lincoln anecdote"...
