COMMUNICATIONS To the Editor: Three factual errors need to be corrected about the March 1990 review of The Historian's Lincoln: Pseudohistory, Psychohistory, and History (University of Illinois Press, 1988), and its sequel The Historian's Lincoln: Rebuttals. What the University Press Would Not Print (Gettysburg College, 1988). First, the original volume had an associate editor, Norman O. Forness. Second, all the major contributors replied to the critical comments on their essays. However, when the University of Illinois Press decided not to print these rebuttals, only seven of the eleven chose to have them appear in a separate pamphlet. These were LaWanda Cox, Charles B. Strozier, Dwight G. Anderson, Thomas R. Turner, Stephen B. Oates, and myself. Third, the Rebuttals are dedicated to Major L. Wilson, but he did not write the booklet's introduction.
