Odd choices indeed. Nothing definitive about either one, as far as 
historians are concerned. The bizarre manner in which the Lamon 
biography was patched together is detailed in Merrill D. Peterson's 
book, /Lincoln in American Memory/. The best one-volume biography is 
probably David Herbert Donald, /Lincoln/.
