antiquary's review

My understanding is that professional Lincoln scholars tend to distrust Sandberg for relying too much on local traditions which may have been romanticized. However, I think he does write well and provides an interesting focus on Lincoln's early years. (

Well, I see that most other ratings agreed with mine! This is the better part of the Sandburg biography. I'd almost say read this part but skip 'The War Years' and read 'Team of Rivals' instead. (
