book cover "A Great and Good Man"

A Great and Good Man provides excerpts from more than 200 previously unpublished accounts written by men and women who lived during the Civil War. Some saw Abraham Lincoln deliver speeches, review the troops, or light up cigars with soldiers. Others offer pointed commentary on his policies and decisions. Through these selections, readers get an in-depth and at times startling view of the years between the Lincoln-Douglas debates and the President’s assassination.
