Editorial Reviews
Booklist,
9/1/2001
"In the third volume in the Dear Mr. President series, Pinkney creates a lively, two-year correspondence between Abraham Lincoln and Lettie Tucker, a 12-year-old slave living on a plantation in South Carolina. Lettie respectfully challenges Lincoln, and as she writes about her life and family. Lincoln's genial, concerned responses depict both his determination to preserve the Union and his conflicted, gradually changing views about abolition. Lettie emerges as engaging, determined, and empathetic, whether chiding or comforting Lincoln, grieving when her father is sold, or rejoicing because of the Emancipation Proclamation and her family's new life in Philadelphia. The letters are beautifully written and accompanied by numerous photographs… the premise is interesting, the research connections useful, and the letters thought provoking."
