Two LincolnStudies.com Contributors to be Published in the JALA
By Samuel P. Wheeler | June 3, 2010
Two LincolnStudies.com contributors will be published in upcoming editions of The Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association.
Readers of LincolnStudies.com are familiar with Lewis Gannett. Back in April 2008, he contributed an insightful article on the “Tripp Thesis” that inspired spirited discussion here. Since then, Gannett has been busy! His extended article on Ann Rutledge will be published by the JALA this summer. It is familiar ground for Gannett. Back in 2005, his article “Overwhelming Evidence of Lincoln-Ann Rutledge Romance? Rexamining Rutledge Family Reminiscences” appeared in the JALA. His new piece promises to delve deeper into both the primary evidence and secondary literature.
Another LincolnStudies.com reader and commenter is in the news. The Carmi Times is reporting that Rob Wick’s article on the War Department’s rewards for the caputre of assassin John Wilkes Booth will be published by the JALA next summer. The article appears to be an outgrowth of Wick’s interest in Everton J. Conger, the man who led the manhunt for Lincoln’s assassin.
Congratulations to both Lewis and Rob!
