註釋The New York Times Book Review has called Douglas L. Wilson "the

leading historian on the young and private Lincoln." The provocative

selections in this book address topics as disparate as William H. Herndon

and his informants, Lincoln's favorite poem, his mysterious broken engagement,

the text of his debates with Stephen A. Douglas, and a previously unknown

assault on Peter Cartwright. They also provide a fresh look at some of

the affinities between Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson.

"Impressive! Especially significant is Wilson's comment in his preface

that he has come at Lincoln through the 'back door.' I am convinced that

this approach can bring to light insights that may not appear to the dedicated

Lincoln scholars, who often see Lincoln out of context." -- Robert

W. Johannsen, author of The Frontier, the Union, and Stephen A. Douglas
