My favorite way to post excerpts is to get different accounts of the same event. That helps to zero in on what really happened as well as giving alternate, but factual looks at something. I have to much reading to catch up on to get another Lincoln bio, so if you or anyone else wants to post excerpts from other works it will be appreciated. Especially date-specific stuff that we can cover from different angles.
