I found the articles fascinating. Here are just a few of Harris' recollections and observations that I thought were interesting:

"Mr. Lincoln's mind was logical to the last degree, but his heart was more a woman's than a man’s." ....

Thanks, Roger. That quote reminds me of another description I've read of Lincoln: He had the mind of a scientist but the heart of a poet.

I don't remember where I read that. Does it sound familiar to anybody else?
