I Am Abraham

I AM ABRAHAM

A Novel of Lincoln and the Civil War.
Written by Jerome Charyn -  2014

Completed reading 9-6-2014

Very interested reading but not actually about the civil war or even about stories we already knew about Lincoln.  The author admits much is made up to make it interesting.  Doesn't even mention his famous beard or why he grew it.  Also the famous Gettysburg speech is just barely mentioned and not quoted in the book.
