Lincoln concise biographies

[RJNorton]

Hi Mike! I remember you from the old Abraham Lincoln Online Friends of Lincoln Mailbag. Welcome!!

I would recommend Dr. McPherson's. He is a member of this forum, and his works have already received much praise here. I will also recommend another concise biography. When folks think of Dr. William Hanchett they might first think of his well-known Lincoln Murder Conspiracies. However, among his other works, there is a 134-page biography of Lincoln titled Out of the Wilderness - The Life of Abraham Lincoln. I consider it an absolutely delightful read for folks who are looking for a quick, easy-to-follow way to learn about Abraham Lincoln.
