Lincoln Before Washington

The provocative selections in this book address topics as disparate as William H. Herndon and his informants, Lincoln`s favorite poem, his mysterious broken engagement, the text of his debates with Stephen A. Douglas, and a previously unknown assault on Peter Cartwright. They also provide a fresh look at some of the affinities between Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
