No one suggested that it was a crazy Klan site - I was just mentioning that anyone can find supporting documents for their cause - not that they are wrong, just that there are always 2 sides to the story.
which is a book by a guy who goes to state historic and national historic sites and fights the myths and the history there - not saying that he's right - just saying that just because the NPS says it doesn't mean it's holy writ.

I'm sorry I just can't help but laugh at this.
You're comparing some guy's opinion (I only read the first sentence, but he doesn't seem to write it like a textbook) to the actual text of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation?
I would say though, that because the NPS says "this is the text of the original," it most likely is. Don't really have time to drive to the National Archives right now, I'm at work, maybe later today though.
