Baldino’s thorough research and keen insights clarify why the Lincoln-Douglas debates hold such enduring importance in American history. Meanwhile, vivid descriptions and rich detail bring the excitement of the debates to life for modern readers. Following Lincoln as He Followed Douglas is a must for the amateur historian struggling to understand the significance of the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates. Baldino draws the reader into the narrative while giving an excellent accounting of why the debates were important and still are pertinent today. Ms. Baldino has woven an intriguing and colorful tale based on the Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858. I'm an inveterate traveler and reading the book made me want to pack a suitcase and journey to Illinois to follow the trail marked by two of the finest orators in our history. If I can't make the actual trip, I have walked in their footsteps via the prose and pictures contained in the book. This is definitely a must-read for anyone who visits the Lincoln-Douglas itinerary but also for those who are unable to travel but who want to know more about the debates, and get a feel for the temperature, the tempo and the tempest that surrounded each of the speeches. Meticulously researched and abundantly readable, Baldino’s take on this remarkable political journey brings the events of 1858 alive. Step into a bygone era and feel the power of classic public debate as Lincoln and Douglas barnstorm across the heartland! Praise for Georgiann's fiction: The Nursing Home Fugitive http://www.sminkworks.com After the first half dozen lines, I was drawn into and fascinated by Clive’s flawed and imperfect mind and a scant few lines later, his confused but indomitable spirit. Then I was drawn into Arlene’s search for him. Georgiann Baldino has not just written outside the lines but has drawn completely new boundaries in a story, which will leave you thinking about questions and answers of your own long after you finish reading.Earl Staggs, Writer, Derringer Award Winner Managing Editor, Futures MYSTERY Anthology Magazine Praise for The Acts of Judas “This exhilarating archeological thriller occurs just before and after 9/11. Though the preliminary mischief seems childlike compared to the terrorists’ activities and the world scene on 9/11 and afterward, the backdrop of growing distrust and disenchantment in the Middle East provides tension because readers know of the World Trade Center tragedy and the suicide bombings in Israel (and now Iraq). The contents of the Judas “translation” augments a fantastic archeological tale caught in the global war on terrorism.” Harriet Klausner, Reviewer Gives 9 stars out of 10 “On one level this is a thriller featuring chase and adventure across the Middle East, along with a hint of romance. On another level, this is a complex work that provides a deep insight into the religious differences in the region that shape behavior and politics still today. Using her extensive research into various religions via a number of sources, the author explains the religious and cultural history of a large portion of the Middle East while at the same time telling an engrossing story. This is not something that is an easy thing to do, but in this case, the teaching and the fiction blend almost seamlessly together. In so doing, the author has created a read that is a very good book and leaves the reader with plenty to think about after turning the last page.” Kevin Tipple, Reviewer & Interviewer The Blue Iris Journal, Hardluck Stories Zine and The Mystery Morgue |
