Abraham Lincoln & Frederick Douglass by Russell Freedman

1/4/2013

  I love Russell Freedman's books, and this was no let down.  I also love Lincoln & Douglass, & the Civil War era,  so it was a real treat.  As usual, Freedman's easy, flowing, but chock full of facts writing style really keeps my interest, and I always learn a lot.  I was especially curious about Lincoln's relationship with Douglass, and Douglass' life story.  Really good read (and a quick one).

Rin Tin Tin by Susan Orlean

   I don't usually review non-fiction books here, but this one was particularly interesting to me.  She tells the story of the dog, Rin Tin Tin - where he was found and his rise to movie stardom in the silent picture days.  I remember the TV show, but that is quite different from the original movies, and I found the whole story fascinating.  I highly recommend to lovers of animals and biographies.
