The dramatic life of Abraham Lincoln

The Dramatic Life of Abraham Lincoln was published in the 1920s. What is different about it, is that it was based on interviews with people who actually KNEW Lincoln, people like childhood friends, neighbors, relatives, bosses and co-workers. While the descritions are a bit "folksy" (again, it was the 1920s) I found it to be riveting - particularly the description of Lincoln's early life in the midwest. There are a few stories discussed, such as Lincoln's birth, that I'd never read anywhere else. Interestingly, an award winning movie was made based on the book, but it was not properly preserved, and no copies of it exist.
