How Lincoln Learned to Read: Twelve Great Americans and the Education That Made Them

I stumbled across this title, and I can't wait to read this book- it sounds great.

Here is a video of Wolff introducing the book.

Daniel Wolff explores how twelve influential Americans from a range of backgrounds were educated both inside and outside of the classroom. From Benjamin Franklin and W.E.B. Du Bois to Henry Ford and Elvis Presley, Mr. Wolff present his thoughts on the different ways that people learn and the elusive definition of a "good education." This event was hosted by R.J. Julia Booksellers in Maidson, Connecticut.
