This title is a soft cover, not a hardcover as described, but it is well worth the price for the outstanding quality of the color reproduction of Bogdanove's paintings. You really get a good sense of the texture of the paintings, the brush strokes, and the artist's style. If you are interested in Maine artists, this book is a must-have for your library.

What a great Book! Gets at the heart of the dutch calvinist revival.

Very good

This book is perfect. I discovered it at my local library while working on my children's literature review file. I read it and was floored by how great it was and how I would not rest until I owned a copy of my very own. The book is tall and narrow just like the man himself. I especially liked the pictures of Abraham as a little boy. In so many other books, even children's books, Mr. Lincoln is portrayed as looking gruff his entire life. In this book, he smiles and grins and is adorable just like any other little boy. The book also has small ancedotes about his life which make Abraham more real to young children. The text handles the assassination in a way that is not as scary to young children. One of the most moving pictures is Lincoln's funeral train passing a field where both a black and white man were working, side by side, but had stopped to bow their heads. I read this book to a Kindergraten class and they were enchanted. I highly recommend this book for any classroom or school library. Enjoy!

Despite the fact that this book is in fact a compilation of essays written over a nearly forty year period, it possesses a unity and coherence that would put many other works of "scholarship' to shame. Anastaplo is an amazingly learned, thoughtful,and spiritually sensitive man. He is also that rarity, an INTELLIGENT patriot. One cannot help but think, reading his reflections on Lincoln and the founding, that he would have made a superb addition to the Supreme Court, despite the fact that he The Illinois State Bar , deeming him a 'security risk"(!!), refused to grant him permission to practice law back during the McCarthy era. He certainly understands the constitution better than several of the Justices.

This is a great book. It is very kid friendly. The illustrations and photographs are very vivid. My second grade class has enjoyed reading it.

I am a graduate student, my field of interest is Civil War History. I found Dr Pinsker's book extemely valuable in my research for my thesis. I highly reccomend this book as a valuable reference guide.

This is one of the best books that I have read on the Lincoln family history. The accurate accounts of President Lincoln's family has enlightened me greatly in that his family was not a bunch of poor people, but was mostly made up of well to do land owners, and very successful pioneers; people that helped to make this country great.

Ida Tarbell brings to the reader a vivid description of a family who worked hard,prayed hard, struggled, and succeeded in the great drama of the making of a nation. I highly reccomend this book.

Tom Tierny is no. 1 for historically accurate clothing, and his paper dolls are terrific!! I have several of his paperdoll collections..Definate buy for both children and adults interested in clothing!!

This encyclopedia is an wonderful, and essential, reference for all students of Lincoln. Neely has compiled information on a wide variety of subjects related to Abraham Lincoln. Included are major issues such as slavery and temperance, organizations such as the political parties, and people important throughout Lincoln's life and career.

This book was about Abraham Lincoln, who was the president of the United States during the Civil War. The book told about when he was a young boy and told about his life. He had two sons that died. He was killed when he was president by John Wilkes Booth. He was at a theater when he was killed.
