Lincoln As I Knew Him
by Harold Holzer
Forget what you think you know about Abraham Lincoln. Turns out America's greatest President was a terrible dresser, rarely bothered to comb his hair, annoyed office colleagues by constantly reading out loud, loved raunchy stories, and let his kids run all over him. Of course he was also a shrewd politician, a brilliant orator, and a determined leader who would guide the country through the bloodiest war in American history. So who was he before the history books got hold of him? LINCOLN AS I KNEW HIM is a fascinating collection of nineteenth century letters, diary entries, book excerpts, and speeches written by people who actually met Abraham Lincoln: How did abolitionists and slaveholders invited to the White House view him? Why were Lincoln's childhood playmates jealous of him? How did fellow lawyers rate his legal skills? These pieces, organized into reminiscences from family, friends, military men, foes, artists, and others with lively commentary from editor Harold Holzer take us from Lincoln's boyhood up to his assassination. Some have not been published for over a century. It all adds up to an unusual, very intimate portrait of a complex man. LINCOLN AS I KNEW HIM strips away the myths and legends to uncover the authentic Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln at Home
by David Herbert Donald

Lincoln
by R. Carwardine
"Rarely does a biography of a popular historical figure offer all the qualities that make for a good read: lively writing, a fresh perspective, significant insight, and a compelling narrative. Carwardine does all this and more ... There is simply no other Lincoln biography like it." -- Tom Schwartz, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library " The publication of this beautifully written book, which makes use of the earliest evidence and the latest insights, marks a high point in a decade that has been particularly rich in Lincoln scholarship. No one seriously interested in Lincoln can afford to ignore Carwardine's judicious work." -- Daniel Walker Howe, Oxford University and The Huntington Library "The Atlantic can serve as a wonderful clarifying prism. Oxford don Richard Carwardine looks across it and paints a remarkable picture of the greatest of the Americans who fused the secular and the sacred." -- Gabor S. Boritt, Director, Civil War Institute, Gettysburg College As a staunch defender of national unity, a successful war-leader, and the emancipator of the slaves, Abraham Lincoln lays compelling claim to being the greatest of America's presidents. This fresh political biography examines Lincoln both as a rising politician and as president, and focuses on the sources of his authority and achievement. It reveals his political talents and serious moral purpose but shows, too, how in pursuing office he depended on public opinion and the machinery of party. As war leader, he saw the limits as well as the possibilities of power, and looked beyond the government to other engines of support, including the churches, the humanitarian agencies and the volunteer Union army. Carwardine's study places Lincoln firmly within the changing context of his time, and shows his talent for reading and reaching many strands of opinion as he fashioned a national purpose. Emancipation became an end in itself, toward which God's own plan appeared to be driving him. Richard J. Carwardine is Rhodes Professor of American History at Oxford University. His publications include Evangelicals and Politics in Antebellum America (Yale University Press, 1993).
