"There is nothing in or out of print that comes close to the originality, breadth, and documentation of this welcome study of Lincoln's legal career." Cullom Davis, former director, Lincoln Legal Papers "Brian Dirck's excellent Lincoln the Lawyer complements and adds to the much needed resurgent study of Abraham Lincoln's legal skills and helps us understand why Lincoln became the lawyer in the White House."
