Nancy,

When you (or anyone on the list) use Freedman's bio of Lincoln, I'd like you to talk about what is not in the book: information of Lincoln's role in the mass execution of 38 Dakota men. It was a public hanging. There is an etching of it. I just learned of a historical marker of the hanging.

The photo of the marker is here:

I'd love to see a book that uses that photo, does an analysis of what it means, what it does and doesn't say... And, to see that book used along with Freedman's bio of Lincoln.

Debbie
