A Friend of Mr. Lincoln by Stephen Harrigan
3.0
Stephen Harrigan is one of my favorite historical fiction authors. He has once again brought a great story to life.
It was a bit strange for me to read fictionalized accounts of Lincoln after having read so much of his life in non-fiction. I loved the character of Cage who made it all possible.
One of my favorite episodes was the court case for Cordelia's freedom. I was a bit saddened to learn that this was also fiction loosely based on a real case. I guess Harrigan still wins my praise for being a great storyteller.
I suspect people who don't know Lincoln's back story will very much appreciate this version of events.
