On the surface it may seem a little nerdish, but what an absolutely fascinating read. As the reader is aware of the key events in Lincoln's life, his writings take on an almost prophetic aspect. As portrayed in his writing, he always seems to guess exactly what will happen in the near future, and time after time, demonstrates a wise forbearance when needed and an uncompromising stand when required. His political shrewdness is also on display here as he skillfully avoids roadblock and pitfall emplaced by those far more savvy and educated Eastern and Southern politicians. The advantage in reading this is that one may read it like a series of short stories, or simply jump around to what strikes your fancy at the time. Wish they had these sets for the other great Americans of past.
