Lincoln Lincoln Biography

[WinterLeia]

I'm looking for a good biography on Abraham Lincoln. Specifically, I'm doing this for a YouTube video I plan to make, exploring the possibility that Lincoln had Marfan's disease. So what I really need to find out about is the quality of his life leading up to his Presidency and any information I can find out about his parents, especially his biological mother, Nancy. Thanks.

Oh, wow, thanks. That's more than I wished for. And I've done a lot of research already on the topic. But I don't think I've come across that yet.

You're welcome. Let us know when your video comes out.

"Abraham Lincoln" by David Herbert Donald is considered one of the best, if not the best, one-volume biography of Lincoln. Donald covers Lincoln's early life in some detail. BetterWorldBooks happens to have a copy on sale right now.

Lincoln's Body by Richard Wightman Fox is worth consulting after The Physical Lincoln. Fox talks about Lincoln's physical appearance in his lifetime and in memory.
