Got the right item at the right price

Got the book I ordered and it was in very good condition. It took a few days longer than I anticipated, but nothing serious. Would certainly buy from this seller again.

A Look at the Lincoln Legend

The research into this book is incredible. The stories of the court martials is enjoyable reading, though at times the stories become repetitive (thus the 4 stars and not 5). Lincoln the compassionate president is examined carefully through these court martial cases and in the final chapter. The final chapter, is a great look at Lincoln and his place in history.
