Herndon's Lincoln


Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4.8 Sterne; 11 Bewertungen)

A biography of Abraham Lincoln by his long-time law partner, William Herndon and Herndon's collaborator, Jesse Weik. The book is notable for its extensive use of first hand interviews (unusual for its time) and for Herndon's overriding determination to convey an affectionate but frank picture of his law partner's life story as remembered by Lincoln's family, friends, associates and neighbors.

Insightful biography into Lincoln’s private life


(5 Sterne)

Lincoln : A History by Nicolas and Hay is a first hand biography about Lincoln during his presidency and a dive into the war. This book winds the clock back and informs us who was Lincoln as a man using first hand sources. Kind of mandatory reading for anyone deeply interested in Lincoln. Well read by the contributors.
