Herndon's Lincoln: Volume 1, Part 2

De: William Herndon, Jesse Weik

Narrado por: Chris Blair

Abraham Lincoln called "Billy" Herndon “my man always above all other men on the globe". They were business partners for decades. After Lincoln's assassination, Herndon did interviews with Lincoln's family and friends for this biography. Co-author Jesse Weik also conducted many original interviews. The result - although not without flaws - has been recognized as one of the most important biographies of the Great Emancipator ever published.

This volume covers the period of Lincoln's life in New Salem, Illinois, as a young man, through his love affair with Ann Rutledge, becoming a lawyer, his marriage to Mary Todd, and service in Congress. Here for the first time is the audiobook performed "in character", providing an entertaining listening experience about a crucial era in American history.

Narrator’s Lincoln voice was wonderful, especially since he was reading a second hand account of Lincoln’s words

The actual folksy vernacular of the time, and the small Illinois towns mentioned. I grew up very close to Tremont IL.
