I have read many books on Lincoln and the Civil War. This book is among the most accurate and complete among them all. The photos are marvelous, and the narrative provides a full understanding of the man and his marvelous work to save the union and restructure the political and social fabric of the country. We remember that Lincoln was a constitutionalist but also a visionary on the changes in the polity that had to occur before the original dream of the authors of the Declaration of Independence could be realized.

Read while on the Miller Farm in southern Illinois. Interesting, nice pics, good background info about Lincoln I did not know. ( )

This is a great treasure of Lincoln anecdotes, photographs and history -- a wonderful book for browsing. Includes rare and fascinating photos, reminiscences of people who knew him, samples of Lincoln’s own writings and more. ( )

This is the typical "coffe-table book" but I read it all. Filled with lots of information and lots of photos. ( )
