Acclaimed at the time as an excellent, impartial source book, \u003ci\u003eThe Real Lincoln\u003c\/i\u003e was compiled by Jesse W. Weik through a series of letters and interviews with people who knew the sixteenth president personally as well as their descendents. This is an examination of Lincoln without the weight of history, looking at him as a dynamic figure and illuminating aspects of his life before his presidency. His childhood, his marriage to Mary Todd, his law practice, the way he spent his free time, and his introduction to politics are just some of the subjects covered. In this latest edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Real Lincoln\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Burlingame has included dozens of original letters and interviews received by Weik between 1892 and 1922 that went into creating this work. Occasionally lighthearted and always insightful, this revealing book will enthrall anyone curious about the human side of the man too often viewed as a monument.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614154670231,"sku":"9780803298224","price":4277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780803298224.webp?v=1775091454","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-real-lincoln-a-portrait-9780803298224","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
