    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 `bout such completely forgotten men as
Alten B. Parker(1904) and Winfield Scott Hancock(1880?).
