Originally published in 1922, "The Real Lincoln" is an in-depth
look at Abraham Lincoln the man, not the public figure. Acclaimed
at the time as an excellent, impartial source book, "The Real
Lincoln" was compiled by Jesse W. Weik through a series of letters
and interviews with people who knew the sixteenth president
personally as well as their descendents. This is an examination of
Lincoln without the weight of history, looking at him as a dynamic
figure and illuminating aspects of his life before his presidency.
His childhood, his marriage to Mary Todd, his law practice, the way
he spent his free time, and his introduction to politics are just
some of the subjects covered. In this latest edition of "The Real
Lincoln," Michael Burlingame has included dozens of original
letters and interviews received by Weik between 1892 and 1922 that
went into creating this work. Occasionally lighthearted and always
insightful, this revealing book will enthrall anyone curious about
the human side of the man too often viewed as a monument.
