Jacket edges rubbed with creases along front corners. 2008 Large Hardcover. xii, 494 pp. A biography by three well-known Lincoln biographers, with an introduction by presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin (author of A Team of Rivals) and a foreword by David Herbert Donald, who also wrote an authoritative biography of Abraham Lincoln. 'An extensively researched, lavishly illustrated consideration of the myths, memories, and questions that gathered around our most beloved - and most enigmatic - president in the years between his assassination and the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922. Availing themselves of a vast collection of both published and never-before-seen materials, the authors - the fourth and fifth generations of a family of Lincoln scholars - bring into focus the posthumous portrait of Lincoln that took hold in the American imagination. Told through the voices of those who knew the man - Northerners and Southerners, blacks and whites, neighbors and family members, adversaries and colleagues - Looking for Lincoln charts the dramatic epilogue to Lincoln's extraordinary life. During these years, as Americans struggled to understand their loss and rebuild their country, Lincoln's legacy was still hotly debated. The authors take us through the immediate aftermath of the assassination; the private memories of those closest to the slain president; the difficult period between 1876 and 1908, when a tired nation turned its back on the former slaves and betrayed Lincoln's teachings; and the early years of the twentieth century when Lincoln's popularity soared as African Americans fought to reclaim the ideals he espoused. Looking for Lincoln will deeply enhance our understanding of the statesman and his legacy, at a moment when the timeless example of his leadership is more crucial than ever.
