As for reading Burlingame, or any other Lincoln biographer for that matter, unlike you, I don't hold any author (even ones I admire) as infallible. When I quote from an author, it is to buttress my point. Try and understand that part, David. MY POINT! I think at this stage of my life, I know as much about Lincoln as any of them ever will.

Under these circumstances, it seems a shame since you "know as much about Lincoln as any of them ever will" that these modern day Lincoln biographers don't quote you or reference your writing any more than they do.
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
