A reliable account of Lincoln the legislator
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The standard account of Lincoln's years in the Illinois legislature. The author himself served as a state legislator and thereby had much insider knowledge of how work was accomplished among the statehouse crowd. This background isn't obvious in the book but nonetheless helps provide an air of authority. Politicians operated in much the same way during Lincoln's time and during the author's. The book's narrative is well documented.
