Abraham Lincoln was the greatest writer of the Civil War as wellÂ as its greatest political leader. His clear, beautiful, and at timesÂ uncompromisingly severe language forever shaped the nationâ€™s
understanding of its most terrible conflict. This volume, alongÂ with its companion, Abraham Lincoln: Speeches and Writings 1832â€“1858, comprises the mostÂ comprehensive selection ever published. Over 550 speeches,Â messages, proclamations, letters, and other writingsâ€”includingÂ the Inaugural and Gettysburg addresses and the moving condolenceÂ letter to Mrs. Bixbyâ€”record the words and deeds withÂ which Lincoln defended, preserved, and redefined the Union.
