""Lincoln's Smile" demonstrates why Alan Trachtenberg has been the
leading scholar in American studies for more than four
decades." --Casey Nelson Blake, Columbia University Alan
Trachtenberg has always been interested in cultural artifacts that
register meanings and feelings that Americans share even when they
disagree about them. Some of the most beloved ones--like the famous
last photograph of Abraham Lincoln, taken at the time of his second
inaugural--are downright puzzling, and it is their obscure,
riddlelike aspects that draw his attention in the scintillating
essays of "Lincoln's Smile and Other Enigmas." With matchless
authority, Trachtenberg moves from daguerreotypes to literary texts
to subjects as diverse as Louis Sullivan's Auditorium Building, the
Brooklyn Bridge, and the early works of Lewis Mumford.
