This National Parks guidebook tells the story of Abraham Lincoln from his birth in Kentucky to his election as President. It does this with a well-written narrative and a collection of photos and artwork which illustrates a life more than ordinary. The book also includes some maps and the histories of the three NPS sites associated with Lincoln outside of Washington DC: Abraham Lincoln Birthplace NHS, Abraham Lincoln Boyhood NM and Lincoln Home NHS. Although not a huge book, it is a very good guide to have with you when visiting these three sites. I especially like the photos of artifacts which are on display at many of these sites.
