  11. Logging Lincoln

    Writing a presidential biography is a work of selection. When the president in question is as iconic as Abraham Lincoln, the task is arduous. Consider that the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield alone houses 1,600 original works penned by the man himself as well as 13,000 books and pamphlets written about him. It was a fair question when The New York Times asked in its 2005 review of Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln" whether&nbsp;there was anything new to say about the 16th president. Goodwin proved that there was. She focused her book narrowly, spanning only from the Republican convention in 1860 to Lincoln's death in 1865, concentrating on the relationships Lincoln forged with the men who helped to govern the nation during some of its most tumultuous years.
