There's this clique that believes Abraham Lincoln was actually illegitimate--mostly from those who despise him violently and will believe anything about him as long as it's negative. I never really understood the point. Even if Lincoln was illegitimate, so what?
The cheerleader for this theory is "Southern historian" Howard Ray White and his book Rebirthing Lincoln.
Rebirthing Lincoln, a Biography, by Southern Historian Howard Ray White is his most impressive and essential book to date. It properly tells the essential biographical history of "How an Illinois Lawyer Kept Secret His Illegitimate Birth and Won the 1860 Presidential Nomination of the Northern States Republican Party." This new book presents fundamental Lincoln history never before revealed to the American public. Howard Ray White encourages you to take this opportunity to learn what he has learned and is herein presenting as a paperback book and an e-book. An Audible book is anticipated later as well.Rebirthing Lincoln, a Biography is Howard Ray White's thirteenth published book, all but one concerning the history of the Southern States during the 1800s. Now 82 years old, White was never a history professor, but, through exhaustive study, he was always seeking the truth, even when labeled "Politically Incorrect" today. Yet, for 25 years he has forged ahead, delivering compelling and comprehensive history to a readership who wants to know why and how our country was drawn into a sectional political conflict that resulted in State Secession and the North's four-year military conquest of the South – a conflict where, sadly, one million Americans died. White's biography of Abraham Lincoln is his greatest contribution to educating readers who thirst for understanding about why and how our ancestors suffered this great American tragedy. Inside is the key to unlocking that mystery – Lincoln's behavior from birth to his first months as President.Central to figuring out "Honest Abe's" behavior is recognizing that his biological father was almost certainly not Thomas Lincoln of Kentucky, as he claimed, but almost certainly Abraham Enloe of North Carolina (note half-brother photos), and that he was born in that state four years before the birth date he claimed. Within these pages you will discover Abe's parents and grandparents, his primitive life growing up, his success in becoming a Springfield, Illinois lawyer, his political career as a state legislator (8 years) and a congressman (2 years). Years later, during the uproar over Bleeding Kansas, you will see him rise from a two-man law office to become leader of the Illinois Republican Party and, from that point, soar upward to become President of the remaining United States.But, and more importantly, White shows you how Abraham Lincoln's behavior was, throughout His remarkably successful adult life, focused on always keeping secret his illegitimate birth in North Carolina, because news about that would certainly destroy his political advancement.
This author's Amazon bio is longer than the Iliad and stinks of Philip Thomas Tucker:
Now 85 years old, Howard Ray White, a distinguished Southern historian, has written over a dozen published books. So, let us begin by describing the greatest, most compelling, comprehensive and educational books he has written during 2022 and 2023.
Mr. White's latest published book is titled, "Musk. Ford, Wrights, Amazing Americans who Fundamentally Advanced Human Travel." Herein, triple biographies of Elon Musk, Henry Ford and the Wright brothers are profoundly educational regarding humanity's advance in Space Travel, Electric Vehicles, Early Automobiles and Moving Assembly Line Mass Production, and Travel by Airplane. Mr. White is a retired Professional Engineer. Everyone interested in Engineering, Science and "What and Individual can Accomplish" must read this great, one-of-a-kind book.
Prior to the above book, author Howard Ray White published his Christian book, "God's Humans, from Adam to Today." Does God's account of creation of the universe, earth, life here and we humans, puzzle you? What about Noah's flood? What about humankind's evolution into the races living on earth today? Mr. White's book will greatly aid your understanding on these issues. Read "God's Humans, from Adam to Today" and use the new understanding gained to strengthen your faith in Jesus, and thereby gain eternal life.
Prior to that Southern Historian Howard Ray White published "Rebirthing Lincoln, a Biography." In this biography of Abraham Lincoln, the reader discovers "Honest Abe's" illegitimate birth and how he kept news of it secret to enable his amazing political advancement. The reader also learns why and how President Lincoln was so eager to avoid negotiation and quickly launch a war to conquer the legally seceded Southern States. Lincoln pursued a horrific four-year conflict, the American Civil War, that resulted in the unnecessary deaths of 1,000,000 of our American ancestors and family members. Unlike any previous biography of President Lincoln, this book, "Rebirthing Lincoln", is a MUST READ! This historical biography is dedicated to the one million Americans, both White and Black, who died unnecessary deaths as a result of Abraham Lincoln's decision to forgo negotiation and, instead, pursue a four-year military invasion of the South through to the eventual total conquest of the eleven seceded states.
For the past 25 years Howard Ray White has studied and written about American political history in great depth with a particular focus on understanding the political causes of the horrific War Between the States, and the political passions that sustained the fighting and resulted in the political reconstruction of the conquered states.
At the beginning, White's extensive study of history enabled him to write his amazing book series of four volumes, titled: "Bloodstains, An Epic History of the Politics that Produced and Sustained the American Civil War and the Political Reconstruction that Followed." The first volume of the "Bloodstains" series was published in 2002 and the final volume was published in December 2012. The book series is available as either a set of 4 printed books or as one combined e-book. Either way, the reader gets the whole story, unabridged.
White's "The CSA Trilogy" is a happy fictional story of the Confederate States winning their independence, expanding greatly in territory and population and becoming, by 2011, "The Greatest Country on Earth." This is both an alternate history and a historical novel. It is presented in one book, divided into three parts, each reaching a climax. Readers may choose to acquire this alternate history printed as three smaller books. Same story.
Also consider reading, "Why and How the North Conquered the South", a brief three hour read that teaches so, so much.
If you read "How the Study History when Seeking Truthfulness and Understanding: Lessons Learned from Outside Academia," you will be ready to make sense of any and every history subject you subsequently pursue.
If you are interested in a historical novel that is focused on struggles of Virginians during the war years, both White and Black, White recommends his very educational historical novel: "Wartime Struggles of a Virginia Slave Family."
Howard Ray White is a retired Professional Engineer (Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, 1960), born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee as was his wife of 64 years, Judith. Since 1972, they have lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. They have two sons and two grown grandchildren.
Using the knowledge gained in writing the Bloodstains series, White has written and published three meaningful histories. One is a brief book titled "Understanding Abe Lincoln's First Shot Strategy (Inciting Confederates to Fire First at Fort Sumter)". The second is a brief book contains two essays: "Understanding 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'." and "Understanding the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic'." The third book is extensive. It is titled, "How Southern Families Made America".
White has also written books that are not histories.
In one example, he published his grandfather's poems, intermixed with a brief story of the White family, with puzzles not unlike a "who-done-it." The result is the brief book, "Understanding Granddad through His Poetry."
Another example is "Advancing American Reading Achievement during the Great Depression," which provides to today's educators a window into segregated 1939 seventh grade classes in Nashville, Tennessee. The reader learns how White's father-in-law, Dr. L. J. Willis, conducted amazing research on improving reading skills as the core activity of his PhD work at George Peabody School for Teachers. Why did White decide to publish this long-ago research? Because the African American children were reading relatively well in 1939 and educators today need to use those experiences to help today's struggling readers.
White hosts a weekly public access television show in Charlotte, North Carolina, titled "True American History, 1763 to 1885." These are shown locally at 8 pm every Tuesday. Many of the 180 episodes of this TV series can also be viewed on new television sets that carry the Vimeo channel and on a computer by accessing www.vimeo.com/trueamericanhistory.
Howard White and his wife, Judith, recently wrote together a memoir of their lives. See "Remembering While We Still Can" by Judith White and Howard White. Do you want to write a family memoir? We recommend that you obtain our book and use it as a writing and photos guide.
White's books are available as carefully crafted e-books as well as paperback books. Go to Amazon.
Some of White's books are available as audio books as well. Look for two audiobooks: "Rebirthing Lincoln, a Biography" and "Understanding Creation and Evolution", which preceded "God's Humans, from Adam to Today." Just go to Audible and search "Howard Ray White".
Along with Dr. Clyde N. Wilson, White is the co-founder of the Society of Independent Southern Historians. See their website at www.southernhistorians.org. Two books written by 16 members of this society should be of interest. They are available on Amazon as paperback books, e-books and audiobooks. On Amazon, see "Understanding the War Between the States" and "American History for Home Schools".
Howard Ray White thanks you for your interest in his works. And please pass the word to others.
He's actually a "retired engineer". That is not a historian.

I have not read this gunk. But hear an analysis from the most reliable historian of all time, Clyde Wilson, PhD, Welfare and Institutions Code 5150! He says:
www.abbevilleinstitute.org
Considering Wilson's record of bias, bigotry and craziness, no wonder he likes this! If he read in a Lochlainn Seabrook book that Lincoln ate kittens and puppies for breakfast he'd request it as an entry in the Holy Bible.
The only proof of this theory appears to be a supposed resemblance of Abe to Wesley Enloe:
Personally I don't see a strong resemblance.
Well, two can play at that game. Thomas Lincoln was the father simply by physical resemblance:
Here's a different rebuttal. I will also include, as a conclusion, that article's conclusion:
