Porter CW. 1950. Analysis of the Arguments of Hays and Davis, Lincoln Log Cabin Question. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Abraham Lincoln National Historic Park
This report documents the key points and analysis considered by the Advisory Board at its November 1950 meeting, during which the arguments of Hays, Davis, and Warren concerning the authenticity of the Lincoln Birthplace Cabin were discussed. The document includes three drafts of these eight points, with some annotation. The final suggestion is that the Davis article, "Report on the Research on the Traditional Abraham Lincoln Birthplace Cabin," be offered for publication. The final resolution is passed: "The Advisory Board recommend that the National Park Service make clear that it considers the authenticity of the cabin debatable."
