Pssst....
Oooh, I forgot to mention this nifty book I just read. It's called Manhunt, and it's the story of the hunt for Lincoln's assassin, and his co-conspirators. It was wonderful and has already inspired us to check out a pictorial biography of Lincoln, and I'm now on to biographies of the President and Mrs. Lincoln, as well as the seemingly silly book that alleges Lincoln was gay. (Was he or wasn't he? I have no idea, but even if he was, it doesn't appear to have been the central facet of his being, does it? Which is a great point to make, if that's what the author was doing--but no, I think he's just being prurient and sensationalistic.)
Anyway, at least half of the people who have ever been known to read this blog are now parenting tiny children, so you don't have time to read these books, but I promise, when you get 'round to it in 18 years, it'll be worth the wait!

Hey, didn't he have like ADD or something. He wasn't "all" there mentally. Or maybe was dislexia *however spell it*.
An interesting President. But, really it's an interesting time period. With the Civil War and then some of the stories from that.
Found out a few days ago from history channel there was actually women fighting in battles. One fell at Gettysburg.
