This definitive dual portrait offers a fresh perspective on Abraham
Lincoln and William Cullen Bryant's crucial role in elevating him
to the presidency. The book also sheds new light on the influence
that "Bryant and his class" (as Lincoln called the Radical
Republican faction whose views Bryant articulated) wielded on the
chief executive. How the cautious president and the preeminent
editor of the Fourth Estate interacted-and how their ideological
battle tilted gradually in Bryant's favor-is the centerpiece of
this study. A work of meticulous scholarship and a model of
compression, Lincoln and Bryant is a watershed account of two
Republicans fighting common enemies (and each other) during the
Civil War era.
