Thanks for sharing...on a side note...If Crawfish would have been around Lincoln would have never been shot...he would've been stabbed.

Great read about Lincoln. He was a very kind and gently man with a lot of insight about life. And, he was a republican!

I love the line about Lincoln's "gentleness and friendliness, so different from most of the other attorneys."

Also about his height and long arms enabling him to reach any ball on the table.

The article pointed out that Lincoln didn't drink. That's true, and very unusual for someone with his humble beginnings.

Thanks for the post.
