review 1: Since I knew that the Lincoln's did not have a daughter, the title most certainly drew me in. It was offered as a Kindle SINGLE, so I bought it and read it quite quickly.

I encourage anyone interesed in Lincoln (especially) to read this book. And, to also consider reading "Lincoln the Unknown" by Dale Carnegie. less

Poorly written. Too cursory. Facts thrown together without any logical ordering.
