Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good read if you are interested in the "real" LincolnBy George RichInteresting take on Lincoln and his background. Shows how both political parties tried to use a Lincoln myth in the years after his death. Lincoln the myth was different than the real Lincoln. I felt the Lincoln revealed in this book was just as memorial as the Lincoln myth. A somewhat dry read. Lincoln was an experienced politician. A story line that often gets lost today. Good read if you are interested in the "real" Lincoln.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
