But he seems prone to embellishment - the getting halfway through the word Jerusalem thing sounds doubtful. It sounds like Mary wanted to smooth the whole theater at Good Friday thing and his actual last words over with saying he'd been talking about visiting the holy land. And that Miner took it and ran with it, after there had been the whole controversy over Lincoln's Christianity. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Abraham and Mary discuss traveling to the Holy Land while on their carriage ride that afternoon? Perhaps the timing was just a little off in the retelling. |
