The Lincoln forum

Description:

"Each November, hundreds of Lincoln and Civil War enthusiasts mark the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address by gathering at Gettysburg for the annual Lincoln Forum, an acclaimed scholarly symposium featuring groundbreaking presentations by the nation's leading historians. The scholars and attendees alike make the pilgrimage for one reason: to reinterpret, re-examine, and rediscover the most endlessly fascinating figure of the American past, Abraham Lincoln.". "Now the best of the most recent Lincoln Forum lectures - some of which have been broadcast on C-SPAN's "Book TV" network - have been collected in one volume for the enjoyment and enlightenment of readers everywhere. The essays offer important re-examinations of Lincoln as military leader, communicator, family man, and icon."--BOOK JACKET.
