Title: Disapointed
Review: This book has some historical interest but falls short of expectations. I found the description of the legal process for the emancipation of a slave and life in the whitehouse interesting. The sophistication of the writing style and the lack of any reference to Keckly's education leads me to suspect that it was put together by a ghost writer. That's OK but the historical coverage, while occasionally interesting, was very limited. The account after Lincoln's assasination was limited to the pecuniary embarrasment of Mrs. Lincoln and a fanciful description of trips back home.
