Temple, Chief Deputy Director of the Illinois State Archives, Michael Burlingame, Professor Emeritus and Jean Baker, Professor, laud Findley's book as an unsurpassed account of Lincoln's short career in the House of Representatives.

Lincoln: The Crucible of Congress was determined to be one of the 100 essential books on Lincoln.  No collection of Lincoln books is complete without Paul Findley's important study of Lincoln's congressional service.  Heavily illustrated.
