The task imposed upon the volume resolves itself, at bottom, into just two questions: Why was there a war? Why was the Lincoln Government successful? With these two questions always in mind I have endeavored, on the one hand, to select and consolidate the pertinent facts; on the other, to make clear, even at the cost of explanatory comment, their relations in the historical sequence of cause and effect. This purpose has particularly governed the use of biographical matter, in which the main illustration, of course, is the career of Lincoln. Prominent as it is here made, the Lincoln matter all bears in the last analysis on one point—his control of his support. On that the history of the North hinges. The personal and private Lincoln it is impossible to present within these pages. The public Lincoln, including the character of his mind, is here the essential matter.
In Bloody Crimes, James L. Swanson—the Edgar® Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Manhunt—brings to life two epic events of the Civil War era: the thrilling chase to apprehend Confederate president Jefferson Davis in the wake of the Lincoln assassination and the momentous 20 -day funeral that took Abraham Lincoln’s body home to Springfield. A true tale full of fascinating twists and turns, and lavishly illustrated with dozens of rare historical images—some never before seen—Bloody Crimes is a fascinating companion to Swanson’s Manhunt and a riveting true-crime thriller that will electrify civil war buffs, general readers, and everyone in between.
The definitive life of Abraham Lincoln, With Malice Toward None is historian Stephen B. Oates's acclaimed and enthralling portrait of America's greatest leader. Oates masterfully charts, with the pacing of a novel, Lincoln's rise from bitter poverty in America's midwestern frontier to become a self-made success in business, law, and regional politics. The second half of the book examines his legendary leadership on the national stage as president during one of the country's most tumultuous and bloody periods, the Civil War years, which concluded tragically with Lincoln's assassination. In this award-winning biography, Lincoln steps forward out of the shadow of myth as a recognizable, fully drawn American whose remarkable life continues to inspire and inform us today.
"Highly Recommended" Civil War News, August, 2014 "Novel approach... A pleasant reading experience." "True to history, creative use of known facts (to)create a historical prism to see Abe Lincoln..." On September 8, 1865, two people met who knew Lincoln better than anyone. Lincoln's longtime friend and law partner, William H. Herndon, interviewed 'Old Mrs. Lincoln' in preparation for a biography of the martyred President. She tells Herndon the famed Life of Lincoln not as facts, but as ten stories. Herndon's notes, as well as other firsthand accounts, provided an abundance of material to create an accessible, often authentic narrative with a bent for the grit of frontier life. The setting is two rocking chairs in front of a well fed fire in Mrs. Lincoln's prairie cabin home. The build up to The Civil War is woven into the aged woman's recollections. Also within the context of the story, it is my honor to pay tribute to the strength of people who cannot move a muscle. From a bed of leaves to The White House, she fostered a metamorphosis. You are invited to pull up a rocking chair next to Abraham Lincoln's Stepmother and enjoy her company for an afternoon.
