"It is a good face; it is the face of a noble, noble brave man."

Keckly's remembrances of her time in the WH with the Lincolns are revealing and fascinating. She caught very severe criticism for that book, some of it quite vicious and abusive, and it cost her her friendship with MTL which is very sad.

But from an historical standpoint it's invaluable, imo.
