US President Abraham Lincoln left us a vast legacy of writings, some of which are among the most famous in our history. Lincoln was a marvellous writer, from his humblest letter to his greatest speeches. His sentences were so memorably crafted that many resonate across the years. "Fourscore and seven years ago," begins the Gettysburg address, "our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
This volume is a guide to Lincoln's life through his writings.
