Alfred A. Knopf. 95.06;) Abraham Lincoln's law partner and biographer Js a heavily ma ligned character in most historical studies of the Great Emancipator. Described as d drunkard, liar, dreamer, and n’er-do-wcll, William H. Herndon never achieved the po sition of reverence and awe the Yankees put ‘‘Honest Abe” in. David Donald, a Ph.D. in history now teaching at Columbia, uses the professional historian’s tools of analysis in dissecting fact from fiction in his biography of Hern don, a biographer himself.

Though not, a debunking of Lincoln's life story, it was a zealous, if fumbling search for the truth about the tall, an gular, frontier Uiwyer. who became President, preserved the Union, and freed the slaves, only to die a martyr’s death. To the Yankees, and especially to the Republicans, Lincoln became (or wfas made) » virtual god, a Martyr who died in defense of a Great Cause. This was convenient politically for the Republicans, who still claim Lincoln as the founder of their party. i : 7 j-j ' | / j i !
