Book Finished!

I have finished recently Wm. Miller's President Lincoln: Duty of a Statesman. Excellent read! I liked especially the ending text.
The correspondence from around the world at his death was an area I had not known. I was amazed at the enormity of grief from around the world.
I really liked listening to it, as well. Usually, I read a book before I listen to it on tape or CD. This was a splurge for the Big Bend trip. It was well worth the price. I don't normally pay that much for a book, either. $50.
Anyway, I will listen to it again, for sure. I want to eventually buy the book for its bibliography. I saw it the other day as it's recently come out in paperback. The notes and sources looked impressive.
I think that my interests have now evolved to Lincoln. I want to read and learn more about him and his administration. The curiosity grows with each excellent read. My Lincoln library has room to grow! Good news to family and friends, I'm sure.
I give this book a hearty recommendation and look forward to a long journey so I can read it again!
