One could study Lincoln's influences more generally and come to some conclusions about his views. Brookhiser instead sets out to show how the founders — but not, with few exceptions, others — influenced Lincoln. The result is readable and interesting, though limited. Brookhiser must return again and again to just a few threads (e.g., popular sovereignty, antipathy to slavery) and just a few sources (e.g., Northwest Ordinance, Declaration of Independence, Constitution). There are mistakes: the Robert Strozier noted in the bibliography is actually Charles, and Booth's cry at Lincoln's assassination is misspelled (tyrannis, not tyrannus). sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
