First published in four volumes in 1945, 1952, and 1955, J. G. Randall's Lincoln the President is here reprinted in two. The first covers Lincoln's life as far as Gettysburg, focusing mainly on his presidential administration. The second concentrates on Lincoln the person -- his conversation, his personality, his daily tasks, his marriage, his sense of humor -- and covers his life from the period of the Emancipation Proclamation up to the final triumph of Appomattox and his untimely death.
Lincoln The President, Volume Two Reviews
-
*** This is NOT the copy I read and Goodreads can't seem to find it. I can find copies on alibris and amazon, but goodreads can't..interesting. Maybe because the copy I have is dated 1952 and has no ISBN #. While NOT a real reader of Lincoln works, I found this book very interesting. Shows something more personal than most of what I have read! Again thanks to my Mom for finding me another "gem" to read!!
