"In this fascinating compendium are the best, funniest and most profound sayings of this most quotable of Chief Executives. From his youth in pioneer Illinois to the embattled White House of the Civil War, Lincoln never lost his capacity for dry humor--or his extraordinary gift of eloquence. Also included are Lincoln's funniest satire on his least favorite general; his well-known repartee in defense of Ulysses S. Grant's drinking; his own comments on the important events of his life; and accounts by contemporaries such as Walt Whitman, Leo Tolstoy, and Oliver Wendell Homes.". Very Good .
