Through constant practice and diligent effort, even when Lincoln attained the high political position of president, he treated others whom he encountered with honesty, humility, courage, justice, and grace. Even in Lincoln's own lifetime people were fascinated by him.

``Abraham Lincoln'' is Benjamin Thomas's 1952 classic and may have been the best single volume biography until Stephen Oates's ``With Malice Toward None'' was published in 1977. Thomas's biography was the first comprehensive one volume analysis of Lincoln's life since Lord Charnwood's 1917 biography of Lincoln.

Lincoln was the tallest President. At six feet, four inches, Lincoln towered over most of his contemporaries.
