PERISH FROM THE EARTH BY JONATHAN F PUTNAM

PERISH FROM THE EARTH BY JONATHAN F.PUTNAM is a genre cross LINCOLN AND SPEED book.
 This Historical Fiction/Mystery set back in the 1830s, gives the reader an amusing look at Abe Lincoln, newly minted lawyer riding the trails and trials of rural Illinois. Mr. Lincoln at a stop in Alton, Illinois joins up with young Joshua Speed to figure out the mystery of the murder aboard Speeds fathers steamboat the WAR EAGLE.

I loved this book!  It does have the best of both worlds: historical fiction & a fairly good mystery.  It was amusing to read about the young Lincoln.  I felt like I had stepped back in time to listen to Mr.Lincoln defend the innocent & tell his tales of his very young life.

I received this book free from goodreads in exchange for an honest review
