This is the first comprehensive collection of remarks attributed to Abraham Lincoln by his contemporaries. Much of what is known or believed about the man comes from such utterances, which have been an important part of Lincoln biography.

Trade Review
"The Fehrenbachers have sifted through countless recollective writings in order to document, classify, and evaluate some 1,900 quotations of Lincoln by more than 500 people. This awesome task was well worth the effort, for we now have a comprehensive and trustworthy guide of incalculable value to all students of Lincoln."—James M. McPherson, Princeton University, The Atlantic Monthly
"From its elegantly written and sensibly reasoned introduction to its rich trove of recollected remarks of Lincoln, this is the most important archival work on Lincoln since the publication of the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln some forty years ago."—Mark E. Neely, Jr., Saint Louis University
