Abraham Lincoln An Account Of His Personal Life Easyread Large Bold Edition PDF Download

Arguably the most written-about man, from the most written-about era in American History, Abraham Lincoln is still largely unknown to most people. His life, his actions, and the world in which he lived we not simple. He was wrong as often as he was right, perhaps more so. Every biography about him is also wrong; Stephenson wrote an engaging, detailed, and well-researched biography of Lincoln; he pulls from sources both reliable and close to Lincoln, and in doing ensures that the facts are well-considered. If Stephenson's book suffers significantly, it is in the conclusion drawn from those facts, motives attributed to others not fully supported by the evidence, and an us-versus-them mentality that set Lincoln apart from others in his political circle, an over-simplification of the true picture. That being said, since all biographies are wrong and all pictures of a life are incomplete, this book add a dimension seldom seen in the life of Lincoln. Whether reading about Lincoln for the first time, or studying him in depth, Stephenson's Lincoln is a worthy addition to the vast treasure of work on our 16th President.
