Lincoln's Citadel

[Gene C]

Eva, ....I don't even have 100.

My interest in Lincoln and the assassinatin was rekindled last year. Priot to that, I had a couple of shelves of Lincoln and Civil War books. Since then I've been trying to catch up for time lost in reading and learning. The people on this web site are really responable. They have made the learning fun, so much knowledge, the respect and appreciation for history. I could go on and on, if I could find the right words, but most of you understand the feelings.

So far in the children/young adult books my favorites are Abraham Lincoln - Greatest of Good Men by U J Hoffman written in 1926 and Lincoln's Animal Friends by Ruth Painter Randall. I just started purchasing a few of these. There are several older on-line books I am looking forward to reading.

On the adult side, two new favorites that I read for the first time last year were the biographies of Lincon and Stanton, both written by Benjamin Thomas. They are both over 50 years old, but still very good.

The picture is by Travis Louie. I found it looking on the internet for something else, I don't think it's from a children's book. His work has a humorous touch.
