    My recommendation on a Lincoln Bibography is the one volume "Abraham
Lincoln" by Benjamin Thomas.  The most interesting book I've read on
Truman was "Plain Speaking" by Merle Miller.
    If you want a different perspective, brief biographies on all the
LOOSING candidates can be found in "They Also Ran" by Irving Stone.
It is interesting to read about such completely forgotten men as
Alten B. Parker(1904) and Winfield Scott Hancock(1880?).
