The Truth about Abraham and Mary's Marriage

[RJNorton]

Speaking of Catherine Clintion....I have mentioned this in other threads, but the most interesting statement I find in Catherine Clinton's entire book is that Abraham Lincoln carried a pistol with him to Ford's Theatre. I cannot think of another book that says that (at least that I recall). For some reason I find it intriguing that Abraham may have been "packin heat" (although it would not have done any good given the circumstances of the assassination). I hope in future years more information on this possibility will be published.
