Far as books that cover Lincolns whole life I know there is Michael Burlingame's bio on Lincoln which covers pretty much everything ,but far as books that cover Lincolns early life really well all the way through his years as a lawyer to the late 1850's has anybody read The Albert Beveridge books,The Young Eagle By Kenneth Winkle, or the new book Becoming Lincoln By William Freehling to say how they are for that period of his life?
