Occasionally a book that begins as a work of scholarship becomes a
great and profoundly moving human document. This life of Lincoln's
friend, law partner and biographer is such a book. It has a
two-fold focus: on the "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" days--the days of
Lincoln's courting, arguing, and politicking; and on Herndon's long
and wracking fight to publish his biography in the face of poverty,
drive, and disillusionment, it achieves the impetus and grandeur of
tragedy. David Donald has given us a magnificent account of how a
country lawyer became a national figure and what happened to the
friend he left behind when he became president. An impressive study
of mythmakers and mythmaking, this biography of William Henry
Herndon, a man intimately connected to movements for abolition of
slavery, temperance, religious liberalism, currency reform, and
women's rights is also a sweeping picture of America just before,
during, and after the Civil War.
