Well, okay. But I would expect a lot of people who care about Lincoln and/or American history to have a problem with it.

In fact, they tend to. Usually, when someone writes some preposterous work that's heavily revisionist in its history, you can usually count on established historians to hit the morning news shows and denounce it all as bunk.

Well Shadow and Cat and others -- you may have converted me --

I was just thinking, what if Dan Brown wrote a "novel" about Ronald Reagan being a traitor - let's say getting paid off by the Vietnamese to go easy on the POW issue or something. Wow, that would make me mad. I probably wouldn't try to have the book banned, but I'd sure be ticked, fiction or no fiction.
