Lincoln

  I love Abraham Lincoln's writing style because of his concision. He doesn't go on for pages writing about one thing because he doesn't have to. For example, in the Gettysburg Address, he is addressing people who are grieving, the last thing they want to hear is a three hour speech on the people that had died there. (Though the speaker before him actually did have a two hour speech). Though I like when writers describe situations with every detail, I appreciate what Lincoln can do in a short amount of words.
