I recall this book, published by Morningside. The jacket always struck me as rather odd.
Me too.
Got this book recently for a great deal. What a resource, despite the odd cover.
I saw a Lincoln document on Antiques Roadshow, it had the date on it, went to look it up in this book and there it was.
It really enhances my other Lincoln books.
