Lincoln A Contemporary Portrait

[Rob Wick]

Quote:That's great, Rob. Please let us know when it's published.

Will do, Roger. I had originally submitted a finished article to the IMOH but it was rejected. The editor felt my focus needed to be more on the Tarbell-Democracy question and invited me to rewrite and resubmit. I almost declined because this is the fourth time I've completely rewritten the piece, which started out as a speech to an Indiana genealogical society. Given that I've had to do new research, the work is slow going.

Quote:It's interesting how different eras tend to interpret matters "their way".

Eva,

That's one of the main reasons why I find historiographical studies so interesting. There are clearly defined "eras" of Lincoln biography that tell us as much about the writers and their times as it does about Lincoln. Thanks for the kind words.

Best
Rob
