Now why do you suppose that so many highly influential, even dispositive, personalities as the people who surrounded Lincoln ... never got their definitive scholarly biographies written, in the course of 150 years?

Umm. Because no one bothered? Why do you think; it was a conspiracy to hide something? Since you see a lack, why don't you write some?

Since you see a lack, why don't you write some?

Because I went and forgot to get my Ph.D. in history, smartass.

You got one? You write 'em.
