Honest Abe. The rail-splitter. The Great Emancipator. Old Abe.
These are familiar monikers of Abraham Lincoln, appellations that
admirers instantly recognize. They describe a man who has
influenced the lives of everyday people as well as notables like
Leo Tolstoy, Marilyn Monroe, and Winston Churchill. But there is
also a multitude of fictional Lincolns almost as familiar as the
original: time traveler, android, monster hunter, and more. This
book explores Lincoln's evolution from martyred president to
cultural icon and the struggle between the Lincoln of history and
his fictional progeny. He has been Simpsonized by Matt Groening,
charmed by Shirley Temple, and emulated by the Lone Ranger.
Countless devotees have attempted to rescue him through time
travel, to clone him, or to raise him from the dead. Lincoln's
image and memory have been invoked to fight communism, mock a
sitting president, and sell products. Lincoln has even been
portrayed as the greatest example of goodness humanity has to
offer. In short, Lincoln is the essential American myth.
