Customer Reviews

One of the Best

It's an older book, but a very entertaining read. It isn't a dry history book quoting dates and facts, but a compilation of stories that make you feel like you knew Lincoln. It is a must have for anyone interested in Lincoln.

An Intimate Portrait, Painted by Personal Friends and Acquaintances

Emmanuel Hertz has compiled a wonderful collection of anecdotes that reveal the essence of the man - a man whose greatness matched and perhaps exceeded the size of the task he faced. Highly recommended.
