Mr. Lincoln's TMails




I was in Indiana last week visiting Rich's brother and nephew and found this great book on his brother's bookshelf! I love history, but don't always read books about it. This was a GREAT read. It explains how Abe Lincoln used the telegraph to communicate instantly with generals to strategize during the Civil War. It's like old-fashioned email and he used it to his advantage. Brilliant writing and a totally new look at Lincoln! I truly enjoyed it.

  1. Sounds interesting. Indiana, huh? We are in Alabama right now. Finding lots of reading time here, too. : )
