Book Review – Lincoln the Lawyer by Brian Dirck
by David K.
February 20, 2010 10:17 AM EST | recommended: 6 | comments: 6 Abraham Lincoln is one of the most written about Presidents in American history. Every facet, one would think, has been covered many times over. That said, his 25-year legal career is woefully underrepresented . . . more
