Praise for Abraham Lincoln Comes Home : "Lincoln's funeral train took 13 days between Washington, D.C., and Springfield, Ill., and drew 30 million mourners along the way. Abraham Lincoln Comes Home by Robert Burleigh, illustrated by Wendell Minor, poignantly imagines a father and son paying their respects on the prairie." - USA Today "Moving prose and dramatic night scenes show them as part of a grieving yet grateful nation, paying homage to a fallen hero." - San Francisco Chronicle "This quiet, lovely book sensitively communicates a sense of the magnitude of loss felt by so many." - Kirkus Reviews "A moving portrait of a cultural moment, before the age of 24/7 electronic media, when tribute was paid to the slain president by those who turned out to see the train pass.

Text and pictures convey the watchers' sense of solemnity." - Chicago Tribune.
