This is a stately collection of abstracts from the written and spoken record of one of America’s greatest Presidents, Abraham Lincoln.
What sets THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL: ALBUM-IMMORTELLES apart from other collections of this type is that the material in this book is drawn directly from the official texts: from Lincoln’s addresses and speeches, his letters, his messages and dispatches. There is nothing anecdotal here. No hearsay, no folk tales. This is Abraham Lincoln on the record, in the words he left to history.
Naturally you will find in this collection the words that left an indelible mark upon our nation: the Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address, and Lincoln’s “A House Divided” speech, to name a few.
But you will also find many quotes from lesser-known documents that shed valuable light on Lincoln’s wisdom, humanity and religious conviction. These include letters, interactions with congressmen, and responses to requests from private citizens.
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL: ALBUM-IMMORTELLES is a fine testament to the intelligence, wisdom, fairness and humanity of our 16th President. Even the most casual reader of this book will no longer wonder why the name and legacy of Abraham Lincoln are still revered today, 150 years after his death.
In addition to nearly 200 individual abstracts, this book also contains dozens of testimonials to Lincoln’s life and character by prominent leaders, writers and thinkers of his day. Also a profile of Lincoln’s life by a Congressman from his own state of Illinois, Isaac N. Arnold.
