The book is Abraham Lincoln by Russell Freedman. It was published in in 1987 in Chicago. The author of the book wants you to realize how good of a person presidentLincoln was. He says "Lincoln was a mysterious man, but is a great American folk hero." "Abraham Lincolm stood out in a crowd as much for his wit and rollicking humor as for his height." Lincoln was admired by many people and they loved his way of acting towards the common people. He was loved by everyone. Anyone who admired Abraham Lincoln or was wanting to learn more about him would want to read this book. People of all ages could read it and they would get a lot out of it. Not only
I always thought of him as a grumpy old man. It got a little repetative in what it was talking about, but you learned it, that's for sure. It covered everything he did both good and bad, from boy to grown man. There is no bibliography in this book, but one is greatly needed. From a small boy to a grown man and then finally it talked about his death. This book was very easy to read because it went in the sameorder as his life. The only reason he looked so sad and gloomy was becasue of the way he looked. I learned many new things about Lincoln and what he did. He knew that he wasn't a very good looking person, but he covered that up with his charm and humor. do you read about Abraham Lincoln but about our country's history and what he did for it. Overall this book was very good and had very good information on Lincoln you just don't know where that information came from. This book covered many aspects of Lincoln's life. He showed pictures of him as a president and showed maps of where he lived and during the war what things he did for certain parts of the country. This book would be good for anyone wanting to learn about one of the greatest men in American History.
