PRAISE
There are a lot of history books, and a lot of books on Lincoln, but I can't think of any that bring 'the martyred Christ of democracy's passion play' to such a wonderful new life as John Cribb's Old Abe."

In Old Abe, John Cribb accomplishes what all historical novelists try to do, but few pull off: he makes familiar history new again and transforms historical figures into vivid characters.
