Lincoln's Herndon, by David
Donald. 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.
Perhaps the reason for the con-
o., and the American Locomotive

tempt thv public bald for Herndon
can be found in Horndon’s bio
graphy of l.incnin. 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.

It was also comforting to ; a
people distressed and confused
following the Civil War. To feed
i /1 ■ : r V/T-
this deification, biographers
turned out fictional stories about
the Pioneer Min who could do
no Wrong.
