The Lincolns: A Scrapbook Look at Abraham and Mary by Candace Fleming

5.0

An absolutely fascinating look into the lives of Abraham and Mary Lincoln. Alternately intriguing and heartbreaking, the words and images combine to sometimes leave you startled, annoyed, or even devastated for this well known pair. Though, after reading this, I feel like I had never really known anything about them. Several pictures (of people on gallows) also left me feeling sick. It's been awhile since I've had such a strong reaction to a book. I am all about reading more fiction in the civil war time period now!
