Beveridge was meticulous and zealous in his research, reaching to verify each and every detail that would be printed. Indeed, according to ANB, "because of his indefatigable efforts to strip away the myths and legends that had accumulated around Lincoln, the work is regarded as the first Lincoln biography to meet modern scholarly standards."
