The Life of Abraham Lincoln

Henry Ketcham was a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War and he would later serve as a United States Representative from New York for over 30 years. Ketcham is also famous for writing what is perhaps the greatest biography on Abraham Lincoln. The book was written in 1901, just 36 years after Lincoln was assassinated, and provides an excellent in-depth look at one of the greatest men in American history.
