Описание: We remember Abraham Lincoln for many things, but without his ability at persuasion, we would remember him for nothing. It was that ability that brought him first to national prominence and the White House, and then through the most difficult four years that any president has ever faced. This book focuses exclusively on that ability, looking first at Lincoln's history of persuasive efforts, from the poverty-stricken boy who stood on tree stumps to repeat sermons, through the young state legislator and congressman, courtroom lawyer, rising national politician, and ultimately president, and then at what made him so effective: his personality and intellect, his credibility and clarity, and his masterful use of fact, logic, and emotion. It is a remarkable story
Описание: An enlightening narrative revealing aspects of the former president`s life that are often overlooked, An American Marriage tells the tragic story of Abraham Lincoln`s marriage to Mary Todd.
Описание: President Abraham Lincoln is known as the Great Emancipator, the Savior of the Union, and an American martyr to the people who read about him. But that was not how his sons knew him. Presidential historian Alan Manning invites readers to see not the thoughtful, burdened president delivering the Gettysburg Address to a war-torn nation, but a man quietly reading bedtime stories to his sleepy-eyed sons; and not the resolute commander-in-chief seeking out winning generals and forming war policy, but a man wrestling with his own grown son's desire to join the army and go off to war. A combination of history, biography, and family culture, this book follows Lincoln from his growing law practice in Springfield through the turbulent war years in the White House, highlighting the same challenges that many fathers face today: balancing a successful career with paternal responsibilities--a perspective largely ignored by previous Lincoln biographers, thus helping to complete the portrait of one of the most popular, significant, and complex figures in American history.

Описание: Provides a startlingly different picture of Mary Lincoln, President Abraham Lincoln`s wife. Preconceived myths about the former first lady are factually disproved. At times her judgment was faulty; in other instances it was brilliant. Mary Todd Lincoln had a brilliant mind, a caring heart and an exuberant personality and she was, in every aspect, a true partner to Abraham Lincoln.
This history of President Lincoln's early life details the law partners he worked with prior to his election to high office, and how his practice took on and were retained for legal cases.
Published in 1930, following the discovery of new, hitherto unseen material concerning Lincoln's early life as a lawyer, this short yet insightful account contains several correspondences. These demonstrate the sound and logical mind of Lincoln and his colleagues, the courtesy shown to the court and to clients, and the high standards of professionalism to which Abraham Lincoln consistently subscribed.
The reputation and value of Lincoln's law practices are reflected in the long list of cases for which his services were retained. It is clear that via positive word of mouth in the business communities of Illinois; the attorneys were sought-after. Particular attention is given to Lincoln's partner Ward Hill Lamon, a heavy-set lawyer who would later serve as President Lincoln's bodyguard, who was one of the earliest partners Lincoln had.
Even the office boys and assistants at Lincoln's small law firm would go onto achieve success. One Henry C. Whitney went on to become a government surveyor, and his recollections of Lincoln were to become a useful source for later historians. It is shown that Abe Lincoln had a fondness for the apprentices he took in his employ; in future years, he would personally assist their families as additional thanks for their diligent service.
