On May 3 2010, Sewwhat said:
I'm an Abe fan and found this book soooooooooo incredibly interesting.I obtained a old signed copy by the author, so it was even more special to read.I could not put the book down. My first read of Dorthy's and found her writing to be extremely intriguing. A must-read for anyone interested in the fascinating childhood of Abe Lincoln and how he made it to the Presidency. He was a true man of honor.
