This is the next installment of my work on America’s incredible scoundrel, General Dan Sickles.
What lovely details you reveal!
We have an image of a stern-face, depressed president and his crazy wife,
whom it married for money. How refreshing to hear these anecdotes!
The backroom brawls and all and squabbles flesh out what has been tired cliches,
I'm no Lincoln scholar, but your reports are more than of passing interest. I share
these with my husband who is a retired Assistant District Attorney and a history buff.
Your bibliography is extensive and admirable. Primary sources included.
Thank you Babette. I find such stories interesting and I decided not to move on to the Battle of Chancellorsville because I thought the story of Lincoln, Princess Salm-Salm and what happened after was just too perfect.
The devil is in the details!
That's what makes life interesting.
