Lincoln & Herndon

[Mike B.]

I do think the timeline is important. When the feud started, etc.

It even carried on about religion. ML denied she said certain things about Lincoln's religious views and Herndon at that point gleefully pointed out publically contradicting her.

However, RPR, and others (nobody here) have made the feud as early as possible to make it seem that Herndon led all his witnesses to be against Mary. (There were pro-Mary informants as well.) (Dough Wilson and Rodney Davis in the papers have found no real evidence of this anyway.)

BTW,
I believe Herndon does put too much weight on certain statements like the one by "Tiger" who said that Lincoln admitting to suffering 15 years in marriage. That to me seemed more like a throwaway line joke if true more than anything.
