One hundred and forty years after his assassination on April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln towers more than ever above the landscape of American politics. In myth and memory, he is always the Great Emancipator and savior of the Union, second in stature only to George Washington. But was Lincoln always so exalted?Was he, as some historians argue, a poor President, deeply disliked, whose legacy was ennobled only by John Wilkes BoothGs bullet? In this fascinating book, a leading historian finally takes the full measure of LincolnGs reputation. Drawing on a remarkable range of primary documentsG speeches, newspaper accounts and editorials, private letters, memoirs, and other sourcesGHans L. Trefousse gives us the voices of LincolnGs own time. From North and South, at home and abroad, here are politicians and ordinary people, soldiers and statesmen, abolitionists and slaveholders alike, in a rich chorus of American opinion. The result is a masterly portrait of Lincoln the President in the eyes of his fellow Americans.
