Description

         "Abraham Lincoln was a member of the Illinois Legislature from         1834 to 1842 -- one of the Long Nine, as the Sangamon County delegation         was known, all its members being more than six feet tall.

It was during         these eight years that he came as close to scandal as he was ever to come         in his public or private life.

Did he, or did he not, engage in shameless         logrolling to get the state capital moved to Springfield?

This and other         aspects of Lincoln's apprenticeship in the legislator . . . are thoroughly         investigated."         -- Chicago Sun-Times       "The wealth of detail it contains makes it a worthwhile addition         to the study of Lincoln's legislative career."         -- Los Angeles Times
