Good old Hidden History.

It's really why we're here.

Sometimes the chance for heroic fame is thrust upon the man who might least expect or deserve it.

The truth is most always hidden......and somewhere in the middle of what is finally reported.

Joshua Fry Speed

This was the likely origin of 'Speed' Hoover as nickname for J. Edgar for the same reason.

Don't even get started on Abe's hookup with Sophie, daughter of a Bavarian royal. The baby given to the Hughes family to raise as was a common yet unknown practice (See Newsom/Pelosi/Brown/Getti families).This child became a world-known figurehead, btw.

That might lead you to the lore of how as a young man, he took runaways and captured slaves on flatboats to New Orleans to trade on the market, for his father in law, the largest land owner in Illinois.

There's more....He was the offspring of the head of what became known as the Federal Reserve.....and a servant girl, and given to and raised by Lincolns, and he merely continued the practice.

No I didn't get it from this link. The story is as old as Lincoln.

The intrigue doesn't stop there. An ancestor was Lincoln's bodyguard and first Secret Service head. He hoped to take some of Lincoln's secrets to his grave after attempting to remove Lincoln from his own. The reason why is key.

Today it might stand a chance of gathering a few downvotes by incredulous newbies too lazy to research it and insist on sauce that goes unread.

Never told as a public optic because nobody would even go there.
