Lincoln speech on the Bible?

[Gene C]

I'm currently reading Herndon's Lincoln.
Herndon's book has several comments where he was at odds with other people who knew and wrote about Lincoln.
Three areas in addition to Lincoln's religious views that I have noted so far are in his comments about Lincoln's father, Ann Rutledge, and Lincoln's relationship with Mary.

Part of Herndon's objective with his book was to portray Lincoln as he really was, good and bad, as Herndon saw him.
So far in my reading, the majority of the book has been very interesting.

(Fido thinks Herndon totally missed the mark in regards to Lincoln's attitude and relationship with dogs - and cats)
