Description

LINCOLN:Arguably the most written-about man, from the most written-about era in American History, Abraham Lincoln is still largely unknown to most people. His life, his actions, and the world in which he lived we not simple. He was wrong as often as he was right, perhaps more so. Every biography about him is also wrong; Stephenson wrote an engaging, detailed, and well-researched biography of Lincoln; he pulls from sources both reliable and close to Lincoln, and in doing ensures that the facts are well-considered. If Stephenson's book suffers significantly, it is in the conclusion drawn from those facts, motives attributed to others not fully supported by the evidence, and an us-versus-them mentality that set Lincoln apart from others in his political circle, an over-simplification of the true picture. That being said, since all biographies are wrong and all pictures of a life are incomplete, this book add a dimension seldom seen in the life of Lincoln. Whether reading about Lincoln for the first time, or studying him in depth, Stephenson's Lincoln is a worthy addition to the vast treasure of work on our 16th President.THE LIFE, CRIME, AND CAPTURE OF JOHN WILKES BOOTH: "The time will come when remarkable incidents of these our times will be a staple of as great curiosity as the issue of Waterloo. It is an incident without a precedent on this side of the globe, and never to be repeated."Assassination has made its last effort to become indigenous here. The public sentiment of Loyalist and Rebel has denounced it: the world has remarked it with uplifted hands and words of execration. Therefore, as long as history shall hold good, the murder of the President will be a theme for poesy, romance and tragedy. We who live in this consecrated time keep the sacred souvenirs of Mr. Lincoln's death in our possession; and the best of these are the news letters descriptive of his apotheosis, and the fate of the conspirators who slew him."I represented the World newspaper at Washington during the whole of those exciting weeks, and wrote their occurrences fresh from the mouths of the actors."
