Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[GARY POPOLO]

I have read a number of books that have told the story of Lincoln and Miss Rutledge. I don't know why this story draws so much attention. Lincoln was human just like the rest of us. Haven't we all had that one person when we were young that we feel in love with believing this was the one we would spend the rest of our life with? I would like to believe that Lincoln did have such a relationship. Think of the way things would have turned out for Lincoln had Miss Rutledge not died!
