description: President Abraham Lincoln grew up in a one-room log cabin. President John F. Kennedy was raised in the lap of luxury. One was a Republican and one a Democrat. They lived and served a hundred years apart.Yet they had a number of things in common. Some were having seven letters in their last names. Some were Lincoln's support for the abolitionist movement and Kennedy's support for the civil rights movement. They both lost a son while in office. And of course both were assassinated.In this illuminating book Gene Barretta offers an insightful portrait of two of our country's most famous presidents.
