Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln An apology may be needed for another biography sent out to join the multiplying number of written and published lives of Abraham Lincoln. To many it may have seemed that the last word was said long since, and that nothing of value can now be added to the record. I am not certain that I have justified myself in the present effort to contradict that no doubt wide-spread belief. I claim for these chapters no vast amount of research into sources not before used by Lincoln´s biographers. So thoroughly and well has this labor been performed by others that nothing of value can be hoped for from this exercise. Nicolay and Hay´s ten volumes of history, supplemented by two volumes of the Civil War President´s letters and speeches, leave little to be done in that direction. Because of the exhaustiveness of their study and the minutiæ of the information they have brought to light, theirs will always be regarded as the first work of reference upon Lincoln. They have given us the closest view of his official life - but as private secretaries who knew him as young men, as very worshipful admirers of him, and as good haters of the other side.
