The Life of Abraham Lincoln

If you like history and biographies and like to have them be real - such as, the person who wrote this actually knew the person he/she was writing about in real life and wasn't just presenting a biography that happened to fit with and promote their own worldview- then this is a great book for you. It's style, of course, is somewhat old-fashioned - but that, in itself, is entertaining. The content is great - full of amazing facts and anecdotes about President Lincoln's life, beliefs and worldview, etc. My husband and I both really enjoyed it!

The Life of Abraham Lincoln was interesting and informative

In Isaac Arnold's book, The Life Of Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Arnold portyays Lincoln how he knew him. Isaac was aquainted with Abe Lincoln for over a quarter century, and that helped him in completing this wonderful biography. It does, however, lack several important facts that have now been discovered. Since Mr. Arnold wrote his book twenty years after Lincoln's death, the United States didnt have time to realize what an amazing and influential person Lincoln was. New data also shows that some of his facts in the book are proven to be wrong. Even with those minor details that are false, it doesnt take away from the intensity of the book. Being able to read his speeches and visualize Lincoln speaking is amazing and Mr. Arnold does a very good job of painting that picture.
