Jan will certainly be missed at FLWBC events and tours...such a nice person.

Gill’s “Many Masksâ€Â� seems to be accepted as the first published appearance of Lincoln as Wright’s birth middle name. Mr Hendrickson noted that he found “numerous factual errorsâ€Â� in Gill’s book as well as “notes (that) are frustrating in the extremeÃ...

I recently corresponded with Paul Hendrickson, who is writing a biography of Wright, asking him if in his research he found any definitive proof or disproof of the Lincoln middle name. Hendrickson described it as a thorny issue, for which he has found no definitive answer. He noted that his upcoming...

It was my understanding Pope and Euchtman were built concurrently and that Chadwick combined the lumber orders to achieve some economy of scale.

None of this proves or disproves the Lincoln question, but it does call into question the scholarship, or at the very least, the fact checking behind revelatory statements made in biographies. Or am I painting with too broad a brush? Does every biographer have to check every fact, find every legal d...

I suppose the title of this thread might want to be amended to “Frank LINCOLN Wright & Historical Accuracy in the Publishing of Biographies�. If Secrest took Gill as gospel on the middle name, maybe she followed suit on the circumstances of Liliane K.’s death. I believe verifi...
