Customer Reviews

Quick read, serious discussion.

One of the illustrations in this work is a copy of the Gettysburg address in Lincoln's own hand. This book reads quickly but can be the starting point for a lengthy discussion regarding history, the civil war, warfare, politics, government, speach writing, and even penmenship.
