Description
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, and it's never been cleaner than in this comprehensive edition.
