Thomas Lincoln

[Susan Higginbotham]

I finished this today. It's a detailed, sympathetic biography of Thomas Lincoln, which takes issue with the notions that Thomas was shiftless and that he was hostile toward his son's desire to improve himself. It's worth reading for anyone interested in Lincoln's family, with the caveat that it was not well proofread. There was at least one instance in the printed version where a line or two of text was dropped, and the electronic version had such issues as well. The author also tends to repeat himself a bit; a more vigorous editing would have improved this.
