Large Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. First edition. Jacket edges rubbed with creases along front corners. 2008 Large Hardcover. xii, 494 pp. A biography by three well-known Lincoln biographers, with an introduction by presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin (author of A Team of Rivals) and a foreword by David Herbert Donald, who also wrote an authoritative biography of Abraham Lincoln. 'An extensively researched, lavishly illustrated consideration of the myths, memories, and questions that gathered around our most beloved - and most enigmatic - president in the years between his assassination and the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922. Availing themselves of a vast collection of both published and never-before-seen materials, the authors - the fourth and fifth generations of a family of Lincoln scholars - bring into focus the posthumous portrait of Lincoln that took hold in the American imagination. Told through the voices of those who knew the man - Northerners and Southerners, blacks and whites, neighbors and family members, adversaries and colleagues - Looking for Lincoln charts the dramatic epilogue to Lincoln's extraordinary life. During these years, as Americans struggled to understand their loss and rebuild their country, Lincoln's legacy was still hotly debated. The authors take us through the immediate aftermath of the assassination; the private memories of those closest to the slain president; the difficult period between 1876 and 1908, when a tired nation turned its back on the former slaves and betrayed Lincoln's teachings; and the early years of the twentieth century when Lincoln's popularity soared as African Americans fought to reclaim the ideals he espoused. Looking for Lincoln will deeply enhance our understanding of the statesman and his legacy, at a moment when the timeless example of his leadership is more crucial than ever.

First edition, early printing of this photographic biography of the sixteenth president of the United States of America. Quarto, original brown boards, illustrated throughout with over seven hundred photographs and daguerreotypes, prints, and political cartoons. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Archie Ferguson. In 1897, Frederick Hill Meserve began acquiring pictures to illustrate his father's experience of the Civil War. In time, he became the greatest collector of Civil War photographs and was recognized as a highly respected Abraham Lincoln scholar. His daughter, Dorothy Meserve inherited his interest, publishing the Lincoln biography 'Twenty Days' and producing documentaries such as PBS's 'The American President.' Her son, Philip B. Kunhardt Jr., and his sons, Philip III and Peter, have used their experience growing up with the Meserve-Kunhardt collection to formulate their own incredible photographic biography, 'Lincoln.' "This book belongs in the library of everyone who pretends the slightest interest in the background of this nation and in one of its greatest figures. It is absolutely engrossing - an exceptional biography of Lincoln and history of his time" (Walter Cronkite).
