Not true, James. My eyes do not see it in the photos you mention. You see things that I don't; that's the truth. People who actually knew Lincoln, such as William Herndon and Ward Hill Lamon, would have mentioned it in their books had it really existed. Eyewitness accounts from New Salem stress feats of strength, not weakness. Dr. John Sotos studied Lincoln from head to toe, and he never found any right side weakness. After the autopsy in 1865, Dr. Edward Curtis wrote, "I was simply astonished at the showing of the nude remains, where well-rounded muscles built upon strong bones told the powerful athlete. Now did I understand the deeds of prowess recorded of the President's early days."

This describes Lincoln holding the axe by thumb and forefinger of his right hand with right arm extended, at City Point, April 8, 1865
