Beschreibung
The man behind the monument, revealed through the objects of his life and legend. >Abraham Lincoln in 50 Objects. is an intimate, visually rich biography told through fifty tangible touchstones, drawn from major museums, libraries, archives, and private collections. A grammar book evokes Lincoln's fierce self-education. A survey map opens onto his restless young adulthood. A stovepipe hat becomes both personal trademark and practical working tool. A pen carries the weight of emancipation. Campaign images, political documents, household objects, relics of assassination, and artifacts of mourning reveal how Lincoln became, in life and death, both a man and an American legend. >Unsentimental, accessible, and deeply informed, Abraham Lincoln in 50 Objects. brings readers close to the material world of Lincoln's life-and to the complicated human being whose words, choices, and image continue to shape our true American dream.
