Douglas L. Wilson Lincoln before Washington: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE ILLINOIS YEARS
University of Illinois Press 1998-03-01 0252066278 / 9780252066276 Paperback New Paperback
This paperback book was published in 1998 by the University of Illinois Press with 207 pages. Book Description: The provocative selections in this book address topics as disparate as William H. Herndon and his informants, Lincoln's favorite poem, his mysterious broken engagement, the text of his debates with Stephen A. Douglas, and a previously unknown assault on Peter Cartwright. They also provide a fresh look at some of the affinities between Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson. Review"Wilson, using Herndon's research, not only examines the affinities between Lincoln and Jefferson but also Lincoln's relationships with Ann Rutledge and Mary Todd, his love of poetry, his belief in the tenets of the Declaration of Independence, and Herndon's legacy. With these essays, Wilson emphasizes the value of Herndon's informants and their insights into the young and maturing Lincoln... The challenge to know Lincoln continues, and this book is an important contribution." -- Patricia Ann Owens, Journal of Illinois History Book Description: The provocative selections in this book address topics as disparate as William H.
