Abraham Lincoln was born in poor circumstances, educated himself by reading lots of books and writing whenever he could. He became a lawyer without formal education. He was elected 16th President of the United States.
Mike Wimmer's paintings are wonderful! However, this is an odd biography. Told in the first person, like an autobiography, it was strange to see quotes around his actual quotes. Also, the writing style is so jumpy - almost like it's in free verse, but it doesn't really read like that either. While I loved the paintings, I was underwhelmed with the text.
