A. Lincoln legends and lore

  1. Lincoln was watching the play “Our American Cousin” when assassinated
  2. Lincoln grew his beard due to a letter from a young girl
  3. Lincoln said upon meeting Harriet Beecher Stowe, “So you’re the little lady who started this great big war!”
  4. He didn’t like being called “Abe”
  5. He used an Almanac to discredit a witness in a murder trial
  6. As a young man, Lincoln earned money by splitting rails.
  7. Lincoln’s private secretary was named Kennedy.
  8. He jilted Mary Todd just before their wedding day.

I don’t think there’s a record of exactly when they called off the wedding- just that they did. It was probably a few days before, but in retellings it became ‘he left her standing at the altar’. In any case, while the first time they were to marriage wasn’t exactly to be a huge event, the second engagement a year and a half later (when they actually did go through with it) was just the bride, groom, and a small room full of witnesses as a just-in-case he backed out again.
