This is simply a marvelous book. I picked up an earlier edition a few years ago and still refer to it quite often for my own research into Lincoln. As Mr. Davenport stated in that edition, the book is a travel guide, not a biography. However, because of the fact that it is so well-researched and full of detail, it could almost pass for a biographical overview, especially of Lincoln's life in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, prior to his presidency.

I highly recommend this book for any Lincoln admirer, those who have a mild interest in the subject and especially for those who want to learn more. With Lincoln, there's always more to learn!

This is an excellent book for traveling through Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois wanting to trace Lincoln's route from birth to his leaving for Washington. Nice facts, addresses, costs of admissions, and some pictures, I do wish they would have been colored, but that does not take away from the coverage. No road maps but highlights showing general area in each state.
