I had listened to numerous audiobooks as well as read numerous books on Abraham Lincoln’s life and the American Civil War. The authors provided me with a history lesson not only on President Lincoln but the little known events which led to civil war. I will listen to these volumes again knowing I missed important information. Thank You LibriVox and the many volunteers.
The great Saga continues
