LINCOLN'S PREPARATION FOR GREATNESS. The Illinois… de Paul Simon

I so wanted to like this book, since it was written by Paul Simon, the late senator (but before he became senator). It covers a little written-about time of Lincoln's life, when he was a member of the 'long nine' in the Illinois legislature. The book provides great detail on the Illinois improvements bill that turned into a disaster. That was interesting.
