Anyone familiar with this documentary? I recorded it this morning and I'm sitting down to watch it now. Looks promising.

It is very good. I'm halfway through it.IIt is about a family who has researched and collected Lincoln photos and artifacts for generations. I've seen photos of Lincoln and his son on here that I've never seen. It was just revealed that Lincoln was coming down with a mild case of small pox when he gave the Gettysburg Address. Cool stuff.
Oh, I hope he did indeed say that.I remember that about small pox. He supposedly joked, in reference to pesky office seekers, "Now I have something I can give everyone."
go to HBOs website and try to watch it there.Look forward to seeing this doco. Will probably get to Australia in 2018.
Will look into that. With my horrendously slow internet it will take until 2018 to watch it!go to HBOs website and try to watch it there.

The Kunhardt's have another book on Lincoln that I found a number of years ago. "Lincoln-An Illustrated Biography", by Philip B. Kunhardt, Jr., Philip B. Kunhardt III, and Peter W. Kunhardt, with a foreward by David Donald. The book is the best seller companion volume to the memorable television documentary.Thanks for sharing this, pfcjking. I had not heard about the documentary before. On a related note, some readers may recognize Dorothy Meserve Kunhardt and her son, Philip Kunhardt, Jr., as the authors of a fascinating book about Lincoln's assassination and its aftermath, "Twenty Days." (Mrs. Kunhardt's writings also include another well-known book, the children's classic "Pat The Bunny." Clearly a writer of broad literary talent and interests!)
