RE: Herndon's Lincoln

Just as an addenda to Gene's review, I would recommend that anyone interested in reading this consider buying the Knox College Lincoln Studies Center version, which is available at a reasonable price. What makes this better than the original, or any other version published before, is that Wilson and Davis provide a very helpful introduction as well as footnotes throughout that help to explain where Herndon and Weik were wrong, or right, as the case may be.
