Great story!

I really enjoyed this historical fiction. Great courtroom drama with Abraham Lincoln as a defense lawyer. Highly recommend!

Fantastic read

So many pieces well tied together. The plot line was not what I was expecting. Well done!

True story

Love to hear about a true American hero! I had never heard of Isaac. So glad to have another American hero.
