Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin

4.0

'Shortly after Lincoln returned from Gettysberg, he came down with a mild case of smallpox. the illness would last several weeks but it left his humor in tact. "Yes, it is a bad disease but it has its advantages," he told some visitors. "For the first time since I have been in office, I have something to give to everybody who calls."'
