Begun as a project by McClure's Magazine to collect and preserve the reminiscences of friends and acquaintances of Abraham Lincoln while they were still alive, the project grew into a series of articles for the periodical, and then finally this two-volume spiritual biography of the great man, which draws on firsthand memories and other material, including original sources such speeches, letters, and telegrams.
Volume I covers Lincoln's life from before he was even born, with the origins of the Lincoln family back to the early 17th century, through his education, his service in the Black Hawk War, his early dabblings in politics, his experiences and attitudes as a lawyer, and the presidential campaign of 1860.

The content of this book is great, it gives a lot of great information of the life of Abraham Lincoln.
It's downfall is the formatting. It's almost like someone ran this book through a scanner, ran optical character recognition, and didn't even bother to read the output. Sometimes you have to decipher what the word is, other places there should be an image (but only shows random strings of characters), and then there are random paragraphs that aren't supposed to be there.
I guess that for 99 cents, I can't complain.
