An enjoyable read

Some purists criticize Sandburg, but he tells a good story and has something to back him up even if his standards are looser than those used by some historians. This book's supplementary collection of correspondence from acquaintances of young Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln is valuable. Noted scholar Paul Angle collaborated with Sandburg on this volume.
