A key document of the American Civil War - the collected speeches and letters of one of America's most visionary Presidents.
Including the Gettysburg Address, this collection presents the greatest moments of the American President Lincoln - who rose from humble beginnings and with little education to be President of the United States during the Civil War. His letters reveal he was a man who valued integrity above mere success. His writings on slavery show how immoveable he was in his certainty of right and wrong. Few writers have achieved more severe logic or more perfect clarity.
With themed introduction and chronology of Abraham Lincoln's life and times.
