In\n\u003cbr\u003e myth and memory, he is always the Great Emancipator and savior of the Union,\n\u003cbr\u003e second in stature only to George Washington.\n\u003cbr\u003e But was Lincoln always so exalted?Was he, as some historians argue, a poor\n\u003cbr\u003e President, deeply disliked, whose legacy was ennobled only by John Wilkes\n\u003cbr\u003e Booth's bullet?\n\u003cbr\u003e In this fascinating book, a leading historian finally takes the full measure of\n\u003cbr\u003e Lincoln's reputation. Drawing on a remarkable range of primary documents—\n\u003cbr\u003e speeches, newspaper accounts and editorials, private letters, memoirs, and\n\u003cbr\u003e other sources—Hans L. Trefousse gives us the voices of Lincoln's own time. From\n\u003cbr\u003e North and South, at home and abroad, here are politicians and ordinary people,\n\u003cbr\u003e soldiers and statesmen, abolitionists and slaveholders alike, in a rich chorus of\n\u003cbr\u003e American opinion. The result is a masterly portrait of Lincoln the President in\n\u003cbr\u003e the eyes of his fellow Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45391438610511,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1260.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780823224692","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
