Two initial observations ... unless DKG takes a flashback approach on this, it is mind-boggling to me that she has 700+ pages that START with the nominating convention (in Lincoln's life). Perhaps of more global import though is that this kinds of deep biographies may be impossible to write about current day figures because "journaling" has become passe in todays world. All those reflections and insights are lost.
