Loved, loved, loved! Absolutely fascinating. We necessarily see Lincoln through the distorted lens of history I have so enjoyed learning what his contemporaries thought (especially when their opinions just infuriated his wife); and tracing the path of public opinion on its way to creating the legend that is Lincoln in the 21st century.
