Two Lincoln Books

[RJNorton]

Lincoln Legends tells of myths that seemingly have invaded the public's mind and popular myths about Lincoln.

I second Rob. If you have not read this book here are some of the questions that are researched and answered:

1. Was Thomas Lincoln the real father of Abraham Lincoln?
2. Was Abraham Lincoln baptized?
3. Did President Lincoln appear personally before the Congressional Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War to defend his wife's loyalty to the Union?
4. What about those missing pages from John Wilkes Booth's diary?
5. Was it really Peanut John Burroughs who held Booth's horse the night of the assassination?
