The history and personal recollections of Abraham Lincoln
- THE TRUE STORY OF A GREAT LIFE Abraham Lincoln - the 16th President of the United States - led the United States through its Civil War (the USA's bloodiest war and perhaps its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis.) manged to preserve the Union, abolish slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy.
In surveys of U.S. scholars ranking presidents conducted since the 1940s, Lincoln is consistently ranked in the top three, often as number one.
The object of this work is to deal with Mr. Lincoln individually and domestically: as lawyer, as citizen, as statesman. Special attention is given to the history of his youth and early manhood, and while dwelling on this portion of his life the liberty is taken to insert many things that would be omitted or suppressed in other places. The endeavor is to keep Lincoln in sight all the time, to cling close to his side all the way through - leaving to others the more comprehensive task of writing a history of his times. I have no theory of his life to establish or destroy. Mr. Lincoln was my warm devoted friend. - William H. Herndon Springfield, Illinois, 1888
