Back in print after ten years, this unique book brings together 141
speeches, speech excerpts, letters, fragments, and other writings
by Lincoln on the theme of democracy. Selected by leading
historians, the writings include such standards as the Emancipation
Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address, but also such little-seen
writings as a letter assuring a general that the President felt
safeadrafted just three days before Lincolnas assassination. In
this richly annotated anthology, the writings are grouped
thematically into seven sections that cover politics, slavery, the
union, democracy, liberty, the nation divided, and the American
Dream. The introductions are by well-known historians: Gabor
Borritt, William E. Gienapp, Charles B. Strozier, Richard Nelson
Current, James M. McPherson, Mark E. Neely, Jr., and Hans L.
Trefousse. In addition, each sectionas title page displays a
photograph of Lincoln from the time period covered in that section,
with a paragraph describing the source and the occasion for which
the photograph was made.
