RE: "Herndon was born mediocre"
Interestingly, Weik told Tarbell that he believed Herndon went too far in his book where Lincoln's ancestry was concerned and told Tarbell he had decided to excise it from later editions. I can only imagine what Herndon would have felt about that.
Needless to say, I agree with Mike's assessment. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
