One hundred and forty years after his assassination on April 14,
1865, Abraham Lincoln towers more than ever above the landscape of
American politics. In myth and memory, he is always the Great
Emancipator and savior of the Union, second in stature only to
George Washington. But was Lincoln always so exalted? Was he, as
some historians argue, a poor President, deeply disliked, whose
legacy was ennobled only by John Wilkes Booth's bullet? In this
fascinating book, a leading historian finally takes the full
measure of Lincoln's reputation. Drawing on a remarkable range of
primary documents - speeches, newspaper accounts and editorials,
private letters, memoirs, and other sources - Hans L. Trefousse
gives us the voices of Lincoln's own time. From North and South, at
home and abroad, here are politicians and ordinary people, soldiers
and statesmen, abolitionists and slaveholders alike, in a rich
chorus of American opinion. The result is a masterly portrait of
Lincoln the President in the eyes of his fellow Americans.
