3.0 out of 5 stars The defining moments of his life are largely ignored, September 2, 2009

This review is from: Abraham Lincoln (Paperback)

I first read this book when I was in elementary school and devouring every book I could find. At the time, I found it very good as it appealed to the historical view of Abraham Lincoln that our teachers gave us. However, as I reread it now I see how limited it is, with the concentration on his childhood and almost nothing about his leadership during the American Civil War. This was the defining moment for Lincoln and one of the few moments in the history of the United States where it could have ceased being a country. Therefore, while it reads easy and is understandable, many of the most significant points in the life of Lincoln are missed.

This review is from: Abraham Lincoln: For the People (Discovery Biographies) (Library Binding)

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.
