(2) 4-6 Holzer scaffolds this entry in Lincoln lore with family events, using Lincoln's role as father as main support. Lincoln's benign parenting and dotage on young Tad are evident; Robert, the oldest, is neglected and often scorned; Willie, whose death devastated the president, is clearly the favorite. The account concludes with the last surviving Lincoln (Bob Beckwith, d. 1985). Ample photographs add interest. Bib., ind.
