Through various sources, Anthony Gross brings together a collection of stories told by or about Abraham Lincoln. While some of them are well known, others are not and are interesting. However, some stories need a lot more context or are related to the era that getting them is somewhat hard to do. Given the number of stories that others wrote about Lincoln either say or about Lincoln after his death, it’s hard to know how many are true and not invented by those wanting to be connected slain President. Overall a nice collection, but the reader should be weary that maybe everything might not actually be Lincoln stories. ( )

I really enjoy reading of President Lincoln. This book explains Lincoln as he was. Honest Abe. A very able president. A very able man. ( )

A neat collection of Lincoln's wit. ( )
