I tend to avoid books with "a Cultural History" in their title.
If you want cultural history, go to Wal Mart on Saturday

I didn't find much said about Mourning Lincoln in that Times review. The reviewer kept hopping back to the "unique" emphasis on Lincoln's body's impact on American history - the subject sounds a little weird to me. Could it be that we are running out of ways to interpret Abraham Lincoln?
