Title: Enjoyed by readers during Lincoln's era
Product review: This is probably the best early biography of Lincoln, produced by someone who collected information from persons who knew Lincoln before and during the White House years. The book was produced before the President was surrounded by a godlike aura, and presents the man as Americans of his time wanted to remember him. His last law partner William H. Herndon found the portrayal too pretty, but it pleased the reading public.
