Synopsis

Generous reader, traverse with me the ensuing pages and they shall open to you a sealed book. They shall lead along the neglected path of unwritten history and reveal to you, with care, an interesting fact in the story of America smost remarkable man. They may tear the veil of popular modesty only to discover the naked truth. The truth cannot hurt the living or the dead. It is often a good popular nervine to disturb the commonplace with the heroic, the romantic, the tragic. It is better still to replace popular shadow of doubt with popular sunshine of fidelity. It is said, there is a skeleton in every closet and that must not be disturbed.

Biographie de l'auteur

James Harrison Cathey was born in North Carolina on December 1, 1866 to Benjamin and Mariah (Conley) Cathey. He and his wife, Mary (Caler), had seven children. His research shed further light on some enigmatic statements found in William H. Herndon's original (and suppressed) manuscript and Ward Lamon's Life of Lincoln regarding the paternity of the sixteenth United States President. His work was used as the basis for James Caswell Coggins' own contributions to the subject: Abraham Lincoln: A North Carolinian (1926) and The Eugenics of President Abraham Lincoln (1940). Cathey passed away on September 1, 1929 in Jackson, North Carolina.
