Good question, Bill. I am now wondering...did it really exist?

I just checked Michael Burlingame's Abraham Lincoln: A Life. Burlingame writes:

"Unlike other lawyers, Lincoln kept no commonplace book of reported court decisions and did not read supreme court decisions. Instead, when seeking authorities and precedents, he relied heavily on digests and treatises that summarized cases."

I do not know whether Strozier is correct or Burlingame is correct. They seem to say just the opposite.

Does anyone know which historian is correct? Possibly Burlingame wrote what he did because Herndon was the one who kept the firm's 'Commonplace Book' up-to-date (and the entire book was in Herndon's handwriting)?
