"Another incohesive collection of seemingly random facts loosely associated with Lincoln. The format was ugly to. Presentation is everything, you know."
"I spent many happy hours reading this book. It begins with the assassination, then tells Lincoln's story by going forward in time, examining the different ways we came to understand and look at this great man. As time passed, Lincoln's legend grew, viewpoints changed, and new interpretations of his actions and ideas emerged. The book is full of fascinating detail and amazing photographs -- a Lincolnphile's dream come true."
"Terrific book. Got it from my wife Shari for Valentine's Day - and have literally savored reading each. A few photos I either forgot about or had not seen before. Individuals interviewed who knew Lincoln provided a rich text to this book. As my father used to say it is already a family "hairloom.""
"If I were to construct a photo book about someone, this is the way I'd like to do it. Loads of photographs from the time of the Civil War starting with Lincoln's assassination on April 14, 1865. It depicts the events and people significant to the Lincoln administration, and it displays it's photos with explanations often rendered in the words of the subjects.
It's a wonderful Christmas gift from my sister Donna.
A wealth of information about the various characters associated with Lincoln's death. It answers such questions as "Whatever became of Robert, Lincoln's only surviving child?; Why was Mary Todd Lincoln so reviled by the press, and what caused the schism between her and Robert?; What influenced Lincoln's growth as an icon and revered father figure to the American Public?; What is Lincoln's standing in other countries?"
You will learn that Lincoln had over 100 pictures that survived, that an attempt to steal his entombed body in Springfield, IL for ransom occurred, and that dozens of Lincoln's friends and acquaintances reminisced in print about their association.
