Abraham Lincoln: His Speeches and Writings (Da Capo Paperback)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"The most comprehensive and readable one-volume collection of Lincoln's writings ever published." -David Herbert Donald.

This volume presents nearly 250 of Lincoln's most important speeches, state papers, and letters in their entirety. Here are not only the masterpieces-the Gettysburg Address, the Inaugural Addresses, the 1858 Republican Convention Speech, the Emancipation Proclamation-but hundreds of lesser-known gems. Alfred Kazin has written that Lincoln was "not just the greatest writer among our Presidents...but the most telling and unforgettable of all American 'public' writer-speakers." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
