Critiques

It's great that a complete audio recording of this ten volume history is available through LibriVox. Its authors, John Hay and John Nicolay, were as young men the personal secretaries of President Lincoln, so they had an extraordinary opportunity to hear his comments and conversations, observe his actions, and perceive his wisdom and character. My sincere thanks to all of the readers. Some, like "Mary Ann" and Owen Cook, are excellent. Others don't quite meet that standard (once in a while one hears "corps" pronounced as "corpse" and "cavalry" pronounced as "Calvary") but that's of little concern. All the readers volunteered their time and efforts to my benefit as a listener, and I'm grateful to all. I have a tip: the text of all ten volumes is available on archive.org. I enjoyed reading the text and viewing the many illustrations online as I listened to the LibriVox readers. Again, many thanks to all who made Abraham Lincoln: a History available on LibriVox!
