Lost Lincolns: Thirty-Five Opinions in Lincoln's Own Hand Not Previously Published and With Added Background Stories - Tapa blanda

Lincoln's public works, such as the Gettyburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation, are well-known, but he did hundreds of unknown acts of kindness for the obscure and friendless. In this book, thirty-five such acts, never cataloged or published before, see the light of day. The stories of these mostly under-age soldiers, amplified with family and genealogical background, tell yet one more aspect of the legendary president, whose myths are largely reality. Each story carries a note in Lincoln's own hand. The author concludes with an essay on the emergence of unstable electronic records, which are now substituted for the durable rag paper and iron-based ink which carries the Lincoln corpus.

The author, now in his eighties, practiced medicine and psychiatry for over forty years and since retirement has published over twenty books, mostly on Civil War human interest subjects, as well as books on the Battle of Taranto, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and the sinking of the Titanic.
