Lincoln the Citizen, February 12, 1809 to March 4, 1861: The Complete Version: The UIS Center for Lincoln Studies

Autor Henry C. Whitney Editat de Michael Burlingame
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 mar 2025
Written by a longtime friend and ally, Lincoln the Citizen offers a rare character study and insightful biography of Lincoln before he became president. Michael Burlingame restores material cut by editors of the original 1907 publication to present Henry Clay Whitney’s work in full. Whitney’s work reveals the legal and political spheres where Lincoln moved while providing eyewitness accounts and intimate stories shared by Lincoln himself. Whitney’s unique vantage point informs analyses of everything from Lincoln’s melancholic temperament to his colorful early career to views on his marriage and family life. Burlingame places Whitney’s singular contributions within Lincoln studies but also weighs criticisms of the book and disputes over what information the author may or may not have invented.
A restored edition of an invaluable memoir, Lincoln the Citizen presents a wealth of overlooked biographical detail by one of the people who knew Lincoln best.

Recenzii

“Whitney’s memoir is an extremely valuable view of Lincoln before Lincoln became the object of everyone’s view as the sixteenth president. This edition will clearly complement Burlingame’s other outstanding editions of Lincoln memoirists.”--Allen C. Guelzo, author of Our Ancient Faith: Lincoln, Democracy, and the American Experiment
