A Day with Lincoln in Memoriam and the Great Man
A long narrative memoir recounts Lincoln's early life, his rise from prairie roots to national leadership. It details meetings with Herndon, Webster, Emerson, and Seward, the 1856 Bloomington moment, the famous 1858 debate, the Chicago 1860 convention, and the tragic death at Ford's Theatre.
