This is so good- timely; but reading is hard for me now so slow going.

Lincoln was for tariffs over taxes. “To abandon the protective tariff‘must result in the increase of both useless labor, and idleness.’” (P. 86)
Also, he was accused of being anti Christian, which he wasn’t.
This all in his first foray into politics (1846). Fascinating.

Amazing. For those saying these times are the worst— you know nothing. This country has always been violent with great hostility towards “the other”.

Fantastic. An excellent,accurate(before PC/woke bs) account of the man. A bi-polar, repressed man with a hero complex. Ambitious and strong. A reader, writer, and thinker driven to politics by his passion for Everyman.

Fantastic! Excellence in story telling- the writing, pacing, illustration, and of course, subject matter.

Great read, so far. Definitely a male fantasy. So far, every man’s dream come true.
What could possibly go wrong?

There’s 37 different authors in this non-fiction memoir. A series of vignettes. As I said- fascinating. Most of whom I have little in common with.
So it’s- oh, I see now.

Fascinating; as a look into a world I dislike.

This book is clearly not for me. That which I’ll write more about if I review it.

Incredible- 100 years ago, and- people haven’t changed, despite that the words and language and technology have.

Amazing! But not in the way you might think. As I revisit this, and the man … whole different take.
