Lincoln: A Photobiography by Russell Freedman
AR Points: 5
In honor of Lincoln's birthday on February 12, my pick is this Newberry Award winning biography. It is full primary sources--quotes, political cartoons, photographs, and documents about Lincoln's life and the Civil War. Not only that, but it's interesting to read, too! For any students interested in nonfiction or the Civil War, this is a good choice.
Other riveting nonfiction books: Chasing Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson (F Swa), Bloody Times: The Funeral of Abraham Lincoln and the Manhunt for Jefferson Davis by James L. Swanson (973.7 Swa), They Called Themselves the KKK by Susan Campbell Bartoletti (322.4 Bar)
