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

Thanks for the kind words Amy. Pieces of that will definitely end up in the book. To the best of my knowledge, Lincoln never read Locke.

Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.
