Lincoln's Last Trial: The Murder Case That Propelled Him to the Presidency by Dan AbramsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I rather enjoyed this little gem. It tells the story of the last trial Lincoln participated in before being elected president. It reads more like a novel than a straight up historical piece and this approach makes for a very engaging narrative. It covers the trial and also gives little insights into the man Lincoln was before becoming president, allowing the reader to see glimmers of the personality and hallmarks that would become the legend of President Lincoln. The case itself was fascinating and I was as riveted by the details and happenings as the town where it took place was. If you are interested in Lincoln or trial and crime stories then this one should be right up your alley.
