As to morals that is another question," came finally to believe that Abraham was at least legally the heir of indolent Thomas Lincoln and the uninhibited Nancy Hanks. The evidence on Lincoln's unhappy marriage ranges from an incident in which Mrs. Lincoln hit Abraham on the nose with a piece of wood because he was slow in building a fire, to a probing analysis of her aristocratic pretensions, her belief in slavery and her knowledge that Lincoln, marrying her after...
