RE: Herndon on Lincolln
Not only do I concur, but I would add that both men did the Lincoln community a great service, given that much of the Herndon papers in manuscript are very difficult to read. I can appreciate what they went through, given how poor Ida Tarbell's handwriting is. Makes you wonder how anyone communicated when it was a c r a p shoot as to whether you could read their handwriting or not.
