One of the best books written on this part of Lincoln's life. I've only read parts of it, and it can be a little slow at times, but overall it's pretty good. There are several examples of Lincoln's kindness.

I read somewhere he sometimes defended humble clients without charge and even paid them lodging of transportation tickets when they were summoned before the court. Do you have any concrete examples?
