      Feb 15, 2019

      Abraham Lincoln, who was born 210 years ago this month, was president during an era even more rancorous and polarized than our own. Yet he managed to navigate it - not in a way that pleased everyone or made him popular, but rather by keeping the good

      This is an '100 essential Lincoln books' book. There are lots of good Lincoln essays in here, mostly from the viewpoint of W. H. Lamon, a close friend of Lincoln's. I understand that *some* of the stories may not be totally true, but you still get a nice personal feeling of what Lincoln was like as seen through the eyes of a friend. Many of the stories in this book have since been put into other biographies, but it is still important to read the original. This is not a biography, but more a series of essays covering specific areas of Lincoln's character. I really like the first-person perspective of Lamon, and it can really bring Lincoln to life. Highly recommended.
