I thought about just writing "Hey Kerflumoxed", in the Subject title!
Speaking of....Hey
Kerflumoxed, would you know of a specific book in which the Lincoln quote is mentioned? I've looked in the books I have, and even tried cross-referencing the quote on the internet, but so far, no luck.
The reason I ask, is because I'm writing a book review for history class and that quote would be a lovely touch in my closing paragraph, but my professor will want me to cite the source. And I'm not allowed to use the Ken Burns documentary as a source.
And I don't think listing the Forum as a source, will work for her either. :woohoo:
Here's a couple:
A. Lincoln: a biography By Ronald Cedric White, page 624
Abraham Lincoln By Baron Godfrey Rathbone Benson Charnwood, page 323
Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years and the War Years By Carl Sandburg, page 321

While not a "book" source, here is the quote from a NET source, if you are allowed to use the NET for research.

Hi Ephrum,
I felt that the secondary sourcing I provided was inadequate and have done a little further research. According to this website, A. Lincoln's secretary saved this piece of a document entitled the
Meditation on the Devine Will.
tp://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/speeches/meditat.htm
http://www.angelfire.com/my/abrahamlincoln/Divine.html
Here is a copy of the original saved by secretary Hays:

And there are many citations on a Google search of
Meditation on the Devine Will.
Good luck with your project!

Thank you again
Kerflumoxed!
I'm doing a critical review of James McPherson's, "For Cause and Comrades".
Anyone who hasn't read it, and enjoys ACW history, really should read it.
