Hi Winslow,
Winslow Yerxa wrote:
Except that neither claim has any base in fact.. Others have debunked the claim that Abe smoked hemp. The harmonica claim is highly unlikely, as Hohner did not begin exporting harmonicas to the US until after 1868, when Able Lincoln was four years in the ground. And the claims of letter written make a nice touch of authenticity, except for the fact that they probably because they don't exist.
Sorry, I just thought it was a funny, interesting link.
Talk to you later,
Tim
