Lincoln: A Photobiography

Russell Freedman (1989), 160 pages
Audience: 5th Grade - 8th Grade
Category: Biography, Nonfiction
This is an interesting biography of the Civil War president whom many historians regard as our greatest president, Abraham Lincoln. It's called a photobiography because it has 90 photos and illustrations from the time period. Lincoln was President in the 1860s and, back then, cameras were cutting-edge technology. 'Lincoln was the most photographed man of his time, but his friends insisted that no photo ever did him justice...' To find out why, read this book.
