Putting up this link for posterity. Because I absolutely don't want to lose sight of it.
I'm not unfamiliar with the gist of it, of course. I've read many such works, including Thomas DiLorenzo's The Real Lincoln, but this is one of the best, succinct, and surprisingly quite old now (1986) published, peer-reviewed examples of puncturing the hagiographies of "Honest Abe."
