For 23 years Abraham Lincoln rode Central Illinois' Eighth Judicial Circuit, building his law practice and his political base. The circuit, with its leaders and lawyers, was truly Lincoln's "ladder to the presidency."
"If you want to understand why and how President Lincoln became the lawyer in the White House, read this book. No one has described the tedium of the Lincoln law practice as well as this author- his friends, enemies and associates, as well as the people they represented, are all here." - Frank Williams, Retired Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court
