Lincoln and Syphilis

[Gene C]

IMO - That whole story just sounds.....doubtful.

But.... Jesse Weik (Herndon's co-author on Herndon's Life of Lincoln) wrote another book about Lincoln, after Herndon's death.
It's titled, "The Real Lincoln, A Portrait". I haven't read it yet. I did read the foreword, and looked at the index, and this book deserves examination.

I can't get to it right away, so if anyone else wants to, I would like to know what you find.
