Abraham Lincoln: the man and the war president. Showing his growth, training, and special fitness for his work
There are so many books about Abraham Lincoln that one wonders, why another? This one was written by one of Lincoln's personal secretaries. It's copyright date of 1884 shows that it is not the result of later academic research; rather it is the result of a long-time association with Lincoln, the man. The personal details given in this account could only have come from close observation and private talks with Lincoln himself
