RE: A Sandburg Stumper
Well, I guess I'll go ahead and call this. The letter writer was none other than Ward Hill Lamon, who was trying to get a picture of Herndon for Lamon's biography of Lincoln.
I'm not sure about the idea that before 1870, Herndon never had a picture taken. Doing some research, it shows only five known poses, but I'm not sure as to their dates. At least one looks like a younger Herndon. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
