RE: Scottish Accent
In Lincoln's Ladies: The Women in the Life of the Sixteenth President author H. Donald Winkler writes, "Billy Greene told friends that Lincoln 'knew all of Burns by heart' and could quote him with a Scottish accent." Greene and Lincoln became friends at New Salem. (I think 'knew all of Burns by heart' is an exaggeration; Herndon thought Greene embellished his knowledge of Lincoln.)
