The Newbery medals often seem to go to “B/B-plus” books — not bad but not as good as you’d have liked. This one gets an “A” from me.

I love Freedman’s books, I guess because I love photography. This book is especially good because Lincoln and the Civil War were among the first historical subjects for improved photographic techniques.
