David Herbert Donald’s biography of Lincoln is 'the' one as far as I'm concerned. Great reading even if you're not an academic. And if you are, there's plenty of sources identified.

I didnt like Lincoln's Melancholy. It seemed to be making guesses and assumptions. I also found it boring, veering off subject at times into areas which seemed on the periphery of relevance.
