Lincoln: A Photobiography is an illustrated biography of Abraham Lincoln written by Russell Freedman, and published in 1987.[1] The book won the Newbery Medal in 1988,[2] the first nonfiction book to do so in 30 years.[3] Freedman selected the photographs that fill the book from the National Archives, National Portrait Gallery, Library of Congress, and museums in Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York.[4]
The photobiography covers Lincoln's entire life: his childhood, his stint as a lawyer, his courtship and marriage to Mary Todd Lincoln, as well as his ascent from Congressman to President, and his assassination and death.[5][6]
