As the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) brilliantly lead America through one of its most trying times. He saw the country through the Civil War, which concluded in the preservation of the Union and the abolition of slavery. His resolute and ethical character was admired far and wide. Famed for his eloquent speeches and fiery rhetoric, his prose was equally artful. Contained in this volume are the selected speeches and writings of Lincoln from 1832-1858. This period encompasses the rise of a humble rural lawyer to an inspired and influential Senator. His untimely assassination by John Wilkes Booth in 1865 left the country in turmoil and mourning. A masterful and astute politician, Lincoln was also an accomplished and poetic writer. Through his powerful prose we witness Lincoln with tremendous intimacy. As a writer he was prolific: he penned hundreds of speeches, letters, and political correspondence. Combined, these writings demonstrate the depth and sophistication of Lincoln's thoughts on slavery, war, economics, democracy, and liberty. Contained here are the debates of Lincoln and Douglas and the House Divided Speech, one of his greatest. This volume is truly a treat to any history enthusiast, student, or Lincoln fan.
