Description: "Lincoln's jokes were legendary--and so was his honesty, his passion against slavery, and his self-depreciation about his homeliness. This collection brings a fascinating Lincoln to life. You'll find accounts about his grief over the death of his beloved Anne Rutledge, his startling premonition about his assassination, and the challenges of the Civil War, which pushed Lincoln to blistering satire as well as to sorrow. Browsing through this unique volume you'll encounter a man and his times in all their complexity." Alex Ayres is the editor of The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain, former editor of Running Times and The Harvard Lampoon. His epigrams have appeared in Forbes. Book is in great shape, no bended pages or markings on the pages. Cover us like new. Price tags on.
