Another gem from Douglas Wilson,
By S. O'Toole (Illinois) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lincoln before Washington: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE ILLINOIS YEARS (Paperback)
I'll admit, I'm a little biased toward the work of Douglas Wilson. I think he's done as much to forward the study of Lincoln's early life than almost anyone so I enjoy and appreciate all his projects. This book, obivously, grew from his study of William Herndon's informants. Wilson offers thoughtfull essays on a wide variety of subjects pertaining to the pre-presidential Lincoln. Some is completely new, some expands on some well-known material. In the end though, Wilson, presents his material in a very readable way that had me, anyway, looking at Lincoln from another perspective. That, to me, is what historical research should accomplish.
