I actually think the first volume of Beveridge's work (remember he had access to Herndon/Weik material before others did) is a tremendous work as far as writing goes. You really get the feel of living in a cabin and so forth. And his analysis is well thought out.

The second volume, I think he goes a little off the track because he takes the focus off Lincoln for large parts of it.

Had he lived I think his chapters on Lincoln's Presidency would have been very well done.
