A change in plans

[Amy L.]

Just to say, I read (and will re-read) "Ida M. Tarbell and Indiana’s role in the development of Abraham Lincoln’s view of democracy," and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing, Rob!

Perhaps this could be a solid chapter-in-development for the book?

Lincoln didn’t read John Locke, correct? Only the ideas as they were digested by T. Jefferson & Co.? (The Founders had to read it in French?)
“The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it.” - John Locke
