“There are no fictional characters in Sam Rawlins new book, Young Lincoln of New Salem. Written more as an analytical docu-drama, Rawlins wanted readers to share Lincoln’s experiences and feel the love and sadness that consumed him and motivated the rest of his life. Fifty years of research and three years to write, Young Lincoln promises to make history come alive as readers grow to know this remarkable man as contemporaries from his own time saw him.”
