Lincoln & Herndon

[LincolnMan]

All these posts about Lincoln & Herndon made me want to pull Herndon's Lincoln off the shelf. Alas, it's gone! I have no idea where it went. I haven't read it in years. Well, I just ordered another copy from Amazon. I'm looking forward to glancing through it again. We've talked a lot about some of the "problems" with Herndon's work, but it still is a valuable resource. I think all would agree? What do we think Herndon gave us that is reliable that we would not have gotten from anyone or anywhere else?
