This striking portrait of Abraham Lincoln found in this book is
drawn entirely from the writing of his contemporaries and extends
from his political beginnings in Springfield to his assassination.
It reveals a more severely beleaguered, less godlike, and finally a
richer Lincoln than has come through many of the biographies of
Lincoln written at a distance after his death. To those who are
familiar only with the various aretoucheda versions of Lincolnas
life, Abraham Lincoln: A Press Portrait will be a welcomeaif
sometimes surprisingaaddition to the literature surrounding the man
who is perhaps the central figure in all of American history. The
brutality, indeed that malignancy of some of the treatment Lincoln
received at the hands of the press may well shock those readers who
believe the second half of the twentieth century has a monopoly on
the journalism of insult, outrage, and indignation. That Lincoln
acted with the calm and clarity he did under the barrage of such
attacks can only enhance his stature as one of the great political
leaders of any nation at any time. Herbert Mitgang is author of
several books, including Once upon a Time in New York, The Man Who
Rode the Tiger, The Letters of Carl Sandburg, The Return, America
at Random, and Working for the Reader.
