Honourable The Lord Mayor, The Aldermen, And Governours Of The
Several Hospitals Of The City Of London: At St. Bridget's Church,
On Wednesday In Easter Week, 1714. By John Waugh, ... John Waugh
printed for George Strahan, 1714
Here, from the author of the acclaimed book "The Class" of 1846, is
the dramatic story of what may have been the most critical election
campaign in American history. Taking place in the midst of the
Civil War, the election of 1864 would determine the very future of
the nation. Would the country be unified or permanently divided?
Would slavery continue? Weaving rich anecdotal material into a
fast-paced narrative, John C. Waugh places this pivotal election in
its historical context while evoking its human drama. The men and
women who figured in this epic campaign--most notably Lincoln
himself--emerge with all their strengths, weaknesses, and
idiosyncrasies. "It's an inherently dramatic story, and one that
has been told before. But never quite so well as by John C. Waugh,
[who] brings to his task the keen eye for detail and scene-setting
that one would expect from a career reporter," said the "Wall
Street Journal." Drawing on an extensive array of sources,
including published and unpublished reminiscences, memoirs,
autobiographies, letters, newspapers, and periodicals, Waugh
re-creates that fateful year with all the immediacy of a political
reporter covering a national presidential election today.
