I apologize for posting separately my own recommendation of Blumenthal's book, which I reviewed for the Charleston Post and Courier: http://www.postandcourier.com/20160703/1...shaped-him
I like the book very much. I value Burlingame for comprehensive coverage and detail, but Blumenthal has a concise argument to make about Lincoln's education. I think it is very perceptive re Lincoln's views on politics, republicanism, and especially on religion.
