I really enjoyed this book, written with love and devotion of our great president Lincoln. I learned so much more than the history books tell us. Lincoln, a truly humble, very intelligent person who wanted our government to be for the people. Republicans should heed this message today!

Good

I enjoyed this book very much. Feel that since it was written not that many years after his life that it was probably very accurate. Gave me a real feel for the man.

This book was boring

Enjoyed the book very much. Learned a lot that I did not know.

Never before have I read a book that so clearly demonstrates the character of this good man as this book. Even though Lincoln is quoted to have said, early in the book, that he was not a Christian, everything I see in his character and devotion to God and man belies that purported denial. My late husband was a devotee of Lincoln, and a lover of history, especially that of the Civil War, and all of the places we toured to trace that era have come alive and meaningful through this story of the life of Lincoln. This book imparts a new depth of pride and sympathy with this man, whom I now believe was placed on the earth at this particular time to save the American promise for his descendants and ours. I do not pretend to know half of what my husband knew of that war, but he and I transcribed and published the diary of Thomas Hart Benton McCain, a member and officer of the Indiana 86th Infantry, along with stories from two books he contributed to and published in Crawfordsville, Indiana after the war. In his diary, transcribed in the book, "In Song and Sorrow," he speaks of his deep sorrow and that of other soldiers upon hearing of the assassination of President Lincoln. Geraldine M. C. Rue

I haven't read it

A heartwarming look into the soul of perhaps the greatest man the country or world has ever known! Shall we ever know another so great? Only God knows.

A great look into the great life of a great man.

Slow, fact filled and quite detailed about the life of our 16th President. Has many interesting facts especially about the Civil War and how many of the of the famous figures of that time wove in and out of the eve at of the day.
