RE: Miss Todd left at the altar
Rob, it looks to me like it came from an interview with Elizabeth Edwards (p. 443) and also a second interview with Elizabeth and Ninian Edwards (p. 592). My pages numbers are references to Herndon's Informants. In the first interview it is mentioned that the supper was ready. In the second interview the words "arrangements for wedding had been made...even cakes had been baked...but L. failed to appear" are used. Donna, do you feel the Edwardses created or embellished the story? Or possibly Herndon wrote down some things they really didn't say? Didn't the Edwardses originally oppose the marriage?
