RE: Rodney O. Davis
What a tragic loss. I had no idea he was that old. As one who thinks Herndon gets a raw deal from history, I think Davis and Wilson deserve a great deal of respect for detoxifying Herndon (with the appropriate amount of skepticism blended in).

ETA: Here is a photo of Wilson (left) and Davis in front of the Main Hall at Knox College in Galesburg where the Lincoln-Douglas Debate took place.
