RE: The Truth about Abraham and Mary's Marriage
I would be careful about using the Epstein book. There are quite a lot of assertions in that book, and the sources provided do not back them up.
For example, Epstein claims that Lincoln may have been trying to commit suicide at Fort Stevens at Jubal Early's invasion. If you read what Lincoln was writing that day, suicide was the last thing on his mind as he was attempting to rally the troops and have his generals act aggressively. Yet Epstein goes on for quite a bit about in a dramatic fashion on this. In short, the book shoots for the sensational. |
