Abraham Lincoln: A History (Volume 1)

$19.00

Description

Abraham Lincoln: A History is one of the most expansive works of literature written as an account of the former President’s remarkable and eventful life. Presented in 10 volumes, the work has been put together by John Milton Hay (1835 – 1905) and John George Nicolay (1832 – 1901) in 1890, roughly 35 years after Lincoln’s demise.

The reason for such a late publication was manifold. Even though the two authors have received Abraham Lincoln’s permission to write the biography when he was still alive, the sudden death of the President led to another substantial biography being written by Lincoln supporter, Isaac Newton Arnold.

Although publishers were not immediately keen on a new biography, Abraham Lincoln: A History was eventually written, and Hay and Nicolay received great praise for their extensive detail, accurate portrayals and engaging storytelling skills in years to come.

This is more than just a historical account of the life and accomplishments of the great Abraham Lincoln. It has, instead, become somewhat of a Lincoln “gospel” according to some. Through their passionate relaying of events during the Civil War from the perspective of the North, and through the passionate portrayal of Lincoln as a true father figure and a man not only of impeccable intelligence, but of a kind and charitable heart as well, Hay and Nicolay managed to assist in the former President’s elevation in the nation’s collective memory.

The extensive biography is presented in no less than 10 large volumes. This is the first one, and it focuses mainly on the Lincoln lineage, young Abraham Lincoln’s time growing up in Kentucky, his early law practice and his first experiences with regards to dueling and campaigning for Congress.
