What People Are Saying

This extraordinary anthology contains the best and most evocative words written about Abraham Lincoln over the last two centuries, skillfully edited by Harold Holzer."
—James M. McPherson, author of Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief
"So prodigious were Abraham Lincoln's talents, so capacious the American imagination's embrace of him, that each successive generation of Americans has reinvented his image to serve its own needs and times. No anthology before this one has charted that curious process with more erudition, elegance, and grace."
—Henry Louis Gates, Jr., author of In Search of Our Roots: How 19 Extraordinary African Americans Reclaimed Their Past
"A thrilling book. Here at last is the living portrait of Lincoln that has eluded photographers and painters for 200 years. (Daniel Mark Epstein, author of The Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage)
