Some of America's foremost historians - including James M. McPherson, Allan Nevins, Harold Holzer, and Stephen B. Oates - recount the
extraordinary life of Abraham Lincoln in this collection of the best essays from sixty years of American Heritage.
Lincoln, the book argues, "evolved into nothing less than an apostle for the sanctity of the Union, the ethic of majority rule, and the
dreams of freedom and equality of opportunity. Who could have so predicted when Lincoln had seemed the least qualified candidate for
the presidency?” Lincoln comes to life in this selection from America's leading history magazine, chosen by its current editor-in-chief,
Edwin S. Grosvenor.
