Co-winner of the 2017 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize Lincoln's White
House is the first book devoted to capturing the look, feel, and
smell of the executive mansion from Lincoln's inauguration in 1861
to his assassination in 1865. James Conroy brings to life the
people who knew it, from servants to cabinet secretaries. We see
the constant stream of visitors, from ordinary citizens to visiting
dignitaries and diplomats. Conroy enables the reader to see how the
Lincolns lived and how the administration conducted day-to-day
business during four of the most tumultuous years in American
history. Relying on fresh research and a character-driven narrative
and drawing on untapped primary sources, he takes the reader on a
behind-the-scenes tour that provides new insight into how Lincoln
lived, led the government, conducted war, and ultimately, unified
the country to build a better government of, by, and for the
people.
