3.5/5
"interesting from a historical perspective, if it's not quite the masterpiece some adherents have made it out to be"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

A
"This just might be Fonda's most spellbinding performance."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"What, no chance meeting with John Wilkes Booth while hunting for beaver pelts? How about a rail-splitting contest between Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, bragging rights and a crumpled five-dollar bill to the winner?"  Pretentious Musings  Kevin Koehler

B+
"Rangy, folksy, slow-spoken and self-deprecating, Fonda embodies the young Honest Abe persona as comfortably and naturally as the frontier clothes he wears."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus
