Abraham Lincoln: The True Story of a Great Life is a classic work in 2 volumes from the 1800's written by William H. Herndon, Lincoln's law partner, is an attempt to give an honest view of Lincoln through first hand accounts. From the introduction:"The purpose of these volumes is to narrate facts, avoiding as much as possible any expression of opinion, and leaving the reader to form his own conclusions. Use has been made of the views and recollections of other persons, but only those known to be truthful and trustworthy. A thread of the narrative of Lincoln's life runs through the work, but an especial feature is an analysis of the man and a portrayal of his attributes and characteristics. The attempt to delineate his qualities, his nature and its manifestations, may occasion frequent repetitions of fact, but if truthfully done this can only augment the store of matter from which posterity is to learn what manner of man he was. The object of this work is to deal with Mr. Lincoln individually and domestically; as lawyer, as citizen, as statesman. Especial attention is given to the history of his youth and early manhood; and while dwelling on this portion of his life the liberty is taken to insert many things which would be omitted or suppressed in other places, where the cast-iron rules that govern magazine-writing are allowed to prevail. Thus much is stated in advance, so that no one need be disappointed in the scope and extent of the work. The endeavor is to keep Lincoln in sight all the time; to cling close to his side all the way through—leaving to others the more comprehensive task of writing a history of his times. I have no theory of his life to establish or destroy. Mr. Lincoln was my warm, devoted friend." Volumes 1 and 2 included IllustratedHyperlinked chapters

If you're not a real history buff, don't read this book. Yet. You'll never get through it. If, however, American -- Lincolnian -- history means as much to you as it does to me, you MUST read this book (or books -- it's in two volumes). This is a written (but oral) biography of Lincoln written by a guy who actually knew him ... was, in fact, his law partner for almost twenty years. The occurrences he relates in this work are priceless in their realism and in the personal experiences he relates throughout the volumes. Remember: this author knew Abraham Lincoln, personally! His (crazy) wife, too! Also his kids! I've read many a biography of Honest Abe, but this is the first I've read written by one of his intimates. It offers insights only such a relationship can reveal, and -- long as it is -- they cover almost every printed inch from cover to cover. But beware: this is a biography of Lincoln. Not of the Civil War. Not of the Mexican War, or the Missouri Compromise, or the controversial Kansas-Nebraska Act, or the violence that followed it, or of the subsequent Douglas - Lincoln debates. Not even of the Lincoln presidency. This is the biography of the man himself, written by one of his buddies. It's about the man, not about the times in which he lived -- unless these times affected the man. The author writes about how these times acted upon the man. This is a difficult book to review. It was written in the nineteenth century, and therefore uses the prose used by writers of those times. For those not used to reading such offerings, you will find this a difficult task. If your interest in Lincoln, the man, is as manifest as mine, you will somehow persevere. And learn. If the man -- Abraham Lincoln -- with all his interests, peculiarities, all his known honesty and humility, his shyness among women, his kindness and anger among his contemporaries, his brilliance, his naivete, even his legacy, is of interest to you, read this book. Lincoln is like a 1,000-piece puzzle. This book is yet another piece of it.
