To others, he was the American President, one of the most powerful men in the world, presiding over one of the most horrific wars in history. But to Julia Taft, he was Tad Lincoln‘s father. Invited to the White House to watch over her two brothers, who were playmates of the Lincolns’ sons, Julia had an intimate perspective on the First Family’s home life, which she describes with charm and candor in this book. A rare look behind the public facade of the great man, Julia’s affectionate account of the Lincolns at home is rich with examples of the humor and love that held the family together and that helped the President endure the pressures of governing a nation divided.
 
Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln often expressed their regret at not having a daughter of their own. Julia Taft thus enjoyed a special place in their lives, and her memoir reveals the warmth she elicited from the couple. She speaks of her initial fear of Lincoln—the towering, rough-and-tumble backwoodsman—who won her over with teasing, and of her relationship with Mary, who was never really accepted into Washington social life and took particular comfort in Julia’s presence.
 
A unique glimpse into the social life of the Lincoln White House, Julia Taft Bayne’s memoir shows us the human drama played out daily behind the great pageant of history.

Answer by Frosty
“I was born Feb. 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families–second families, perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in my tenth year, was of a family of the name of Hanks…. My father … removed from Kentucky to … Indiana, in my eighth year…. It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up…. Of course when I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher … but that was all.”

Lincoln made extraordinary efforts to attain knowledge while working on a farm, splitting rails for fences, and keeping store at New Salem, Illinois. He was a captain in the Black Hawk War, spent eight years in the Illinois legislature, and rode the circuit of courts for many years. His law partner said of him, “His ambition was a little engine that knew no rest.”

Ten most accurate biographies based off of Abraham Lincoln’s life?
I’m interested in learning about the person Lincoln was. It could be a biography of his life (early childhood, marriage), his administration, his views on African-Americans and slavery, his stance on homosexuals. All that jazz & then some.

Answer by Brakes Required
The only Lincoln book I’ve read to date is “Team of Rivals” by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Not strictly a biography, but a very good insight into his administration. Maybe you’ve heard of it – it’s a relatively recent book and Obama apparently read it, fwiw.

Fascinating, and also long.
