Lincoln Books

This is one of the best books that I have read on the Lincoln family history. The accurate accounts of President Lincoln's family has enlightened me greatly in that his family was not a bunch of poor people, but was mostly made up of well to do land owners, and very successful pioneers; people that helped to make this country great.

Ida Tarbell brings to the reader a vivid description of a family who worked hard,prayed hard, struggled, and succeeded in the great drama of the making of a nation. I highly reccomend this book.

This book was about Abraham Lincoln, who was the president of the United States during the Civil War. The book told about when he was a young boy and told about his life. He had two sons that died. He was killed when he was president by John Wilkes Booth. He was at a theater when he was killed.

This book, which is an abridgmment of Basler's larger 8-volume "Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln," is ideal for all students of Lincoln as a quick source for finding Lincoln's most well-known speeches, letters, and other documents. While other collections of Lincoln's writings do exist, Basler's is considered the most definitive. This one-volume edition of that collection makes the most popular and important Lincoln documents accessible to a larger group of people.

This volume will acquaint readers with the best speeches and writings of Lincoln. This is a collection of his diverse public speeches and private writings so that what comes through for the reader is a sense of Lincoln's innate, and unshakable, beliefs in freedom, liberty, and equality. Some of the documents selected are famous - the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln's secind inaugural, and the speech about the "house divided against itself," for example - while others are obscure. But all provide the reader with real insight into the essential Lincoln - something that no biography or book of history can do.

THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR ALL LINCOLN SCHOLARS!I OWN ABOUT 3,000 LINCOLN BOOKS AND THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE BEST!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This may have been my first Lincoln book. It's not so much a joke book as a collection of anecdotes that show the charm and humor of Abraham Lincoln.

This was a really good book! I have read a lot of books about Lincoln and ths is the best!

Mr. Mansch's book focused on an area of Lincoln's life that heretofore, to my knowledge, had not been fully explored. Namely, the four month period between Lincoln's election and when he actually took office.

The country was in such turmoil and the outgoing president, James Buchanan, could not wait to leave the White House. He was the very definition of a "lame duck" president. To acquaint as many Americans as possible to himself, Lincoln took a long train trip from Springfield to Washington DC. Mr. Mansch's book covers every word of every speech he gave on the trip plus gives details of the many stops he and his family made. I thought it was a great book and I was sorry when it ended. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Civil War, in Lincoln or is a "presidentphobe".
