Description
Book SynopsisNo U.S. president has faced the problems Lincoln confronted, nor expressed himself with such eloquence on issues of great moment. Harold Holzer and Thomas Horrocks explore his writings on slavery, emancipation, racial equality, the legality of secession, civil liberties in wartime, and the meaning of the terrible suffering caused by the Civil War.
Trade ReviewThe selections represent Lincoln’s development, both politically and intellectually, as well as the maturation of his communication skills… It is a beautifully printed and designed book, extensively illustrated. From the collector’s standpoint, we were excited to see many pieces of Lincolniana we were not familiar with. * The Rail Splitter *
