really liked it

Taught me. Having read books about both primes in this copy before, I was still more informed here to intersect and consequence. Especially upon the John Brown events over time until his hanging occurred.

So many Lincoln tomes! Just my opinion but I do believe he was far more a pragmatist and also practical application savvy then most made him out to be. Now and then. Douglass, even into his aged periods is immensely interesting. And also practical. I disagree with posts claiming bias or relationship slant. You do not have to meet with individuals dozens of times to secure lasting bonds and affinities. Especially upon this scale of visibility or celeb public status.

Holly Hatfield Completely agree! I’ve read quite a lot on both men but I learned some interesting things about their friendship. I agree on the John Brown episode as well. A quick and nice read.
