Customer Reviews

A great book for adults as well as school age children

When I bought this book I didn't realize that it was intended for school children. I needed to research important Lincoln photographs for a talk I gave a local library. The author, George Sullivan, presented a great deal of factual information in a concise, interesting manner and never condescended to his intended audience of young readers - impressive. Mr Sullivan's suggestions for further reading about Lincoln photography were also helpful

Lincoln Revisited

This is a very good book of photos of our greatest president. After all these years looking at his face shows the soul of the man. Every line indicates the extreme pressure he faced in a perilous time in our nations' history.
