180. The Last Full Measure, by Honore W. Morrow (read 6 Mar 1945) I finished reading this book on March 6, 1945 and said of it: "Finished H. W. Morrow's novel on Lincoln's last six months. I didn't enjoy it. If I had read it when I read his Forever Free I'd have enjoyed it but not now." It is the third volume of the author's trilogy on Lincoln and the Civil War. The earlier volumes are With Malice Toward None and Forever Free, which I read back in 1939
45. Forever Free by Honore Willsie Morrow (read in 1939) I read this book when I was in fifth grade, and was enthralled by it.
55. With Malice Toward None, by Honore Willsie Morrow (read fall of 1939) I read this book when I was in sixth grade and was duly impressed by it. It tells of Lincoln during the Civil War

Those who prefer real history to fictionalized could try the memoir, Across the Plains in 1844, by Catherine Sager, one of the younger children.… (más)
