Description
For nearly ninety years, Lord Charnwood's Abraham Lincoln has been the standard life history of the Great Emancipator. It has become one of the great classics of modern biography and has been read by millions.Charnwood describes the frontier life and continual self-education that developed Lincoln's rare character and helped him to adapt to great events and demands such as few other men have experienced. Lincoln the man is analyzed against the dramatic historical background of the Colonial days, the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Missouri Compromise, secession, and an exciting history of the Civil War. Lincoln's administrative genius, his war strategy, and his neglect of the lesser for the greater are all treated in this masterly portrait. The famous Lincoln-Douglas debates are also included.
