Based on research of the newly completed Lincoln Legal Papers and recently discovered letters and photographs, A. Lincoln is an intimate portrait of Abraham Lincoln’s personal, political, and moral evolution from noted historian Ronald C. White, Jr. Lincoln emerges as a country lawyer who would leave a trail of thoughts in his wake, jotting ideas on scraps of paper and filing them in his top hat, as well as a president of intellectual curiosity, comfortable with ambiguity, and unafraid to “think anew and act anew.” White is the author of two previous bestselling books on Lincoln: The Eloquent President and the New York Times Notable Book Lincoln’s Greatest Speech.
