Lincoln's Herndon by David Herbert Donald

[Susan Higginbotham]

I started it, but got sidetracked by another book. I'll be going back to it once the other book reaches its tragic end.

It's very well well written, but I got bogged down a bit with the minutia of pre-Civil War politics. I expect it to be more engrossing once Donald turns to the subject of Herndon's writing his book.
