Tad Lincoln's Father - Gene C - 10-22-2013 06:36 PM
Very nice short book of 88 pages by Julia Taft Bayne. She was only 16 during the first year the Lincoln's were in the White House. She offers a unique perspective of the Lincoln family. A very enjoyable book. Lot's of interesting little stories and details about the Lincoln's first year in the White House before Willie died.
It's free online at http://archive.org/details/
I bought a copy for $7 on the Springfield trip, and I'm glad I did.

I love this book! My mother-in-law found a 1st edition for me at a local antique shop. I think she said she paid $8 for it. Imagine my surprised when I opened it and found an inscription and signature by Julia.

Y'all are the lucky ones to find such good prices. The Abraham Lincoln Book Shop's latest catalog just came, and they have a first edition for sale at $75.
