Ubiquitous and enigmatic, the historical Lincoln, the literary Lincoln,
even the cinematic Lincoln have all proved both fascinating and
irresistible. Though some 16,000 books have been written about him,
there is always more to say, new aspects of his life to consider, new
facets of his persona to explore. Enlightening and entertaining,
Exploring Lincoln offers a selection of sixteen papers presented at the
Lincoln Forum symposia over the past three years.
Shining new light on particular aspects of Lincoln and his tragically
abbreviated presidency, Exploring Lincoln presents a compelling snapshot
of current Lincoln scholarship and a fascinating window into
understanding America's greatest president.
