A New Years Gift !
Went onto Archive.org and found a PDF or eBook of Stanley Kimmel's Mr Lincoln's Washington for free! How wonderful - I own a hardback copy of this book, but decided that it would look good on my Nook as well....
Be sure to take advantage of this wonderful free book! http://archive.org/details/mrlincolnswashin00kimm "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |

RE: A New Years Gift !
Thanks Betty, some great photographs and illustraitons I have never seen before.
I don't recall seeing the photo of the entire old Capitol Prison on p71 before and the map of Booth's escape route in DC on p191 So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

This is a great book, Gene. One, I think, of the best books on Washington -

Thanks for the memories, Betty. Kimmel's book on Mr. Lincoln's Washington was one of the first in my collection. I also love the one he did on Mr. Davis' Richmond.

Oh, yes - I've got both in hardback - but I thought it'd be cool to have it in eBook format as well.... it's a great resource and was one of my first as well!

You got a great deal, Bill!
I've had that book for about 40 years and think that I paid about $5.00 for mine as well.... It's a wonderful book and I'm glad that it's readily available for others to enjoy - "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |

Amazon just alerted me to a sale that they are having on many of the current Lincoln assassination books, so you might want to check them out.
