Talk:Ann Rutledge

Using Clyde Wilson as a Lincoln source is no more credible than using Hitler as a valued --critic of Jews. His distain for Lincoln is more than clear.--MrWellread (talk) 02:42, 28 March 2010 (UTC) --MrWellread (talk) 06:57, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps we should consider an alternate view of Herndon - Mary Todd Lincoln relation

Douglas L. Wilson has made an effort to reconsider Herndon.

But did Herndon set out to malign Mary Todd? To document what she calls Herndon's "hatred" of Mary, Randall cites Donald's listing of a string of unflattering phrases that Herndon applied to Mary in a series of letters to Weik.27 But if one reads the letters themselves, the charge of hatred appears well off the mark. Herndon does indeed call her a "she wolf" and "a tigress," but he also credits her with an essential role in Lincoln's success. What is more, one finds Herndon explaining Mary's situation to Weik with understanding and sympathy: "In her domestic troubles I have always sympathized with her. The world does not know what she bore and the history of the bearing. I will write it out some time. This domestic hell of Lincoln's life is not all on one side."28 In another of these letters, he tells Weik, "I have always sympathized with Mrs. Lincoln. Remember that Every Effect must have its Cause. Mrs. Lincoln was not a she wolf — wild Cat without a Cause."
