You say he 'secretly abandoned her' yet Donald clearly details that Lincoln insisted his wife be told.

Then why wasn't she told? (I guess Honest Abe never had an opportunity, huh.)

Go look at the NY Times microfilm, as I suggested; and then let me know what you think. Anything less is dishonest.

I've never lived south of 40 degrees North, and grew up with the same history you did. It's a history the winners wrote. I've spoken to some of the writers of this history and some of these have privately admitted to me that they couldn't write an honest history and keep their lofty university positions.

She was. Lincoln also sent her word of his safe arrival. Herbert's book, pages 277 to 279. Herbert provides half a dozen sources to back his account. Not just one.

Sure. I'll drop everything and do it.

Far better to go with the myths that the losers write. Is that it?
