Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lincoln Back Home: Two Episodes in the Career of the Great Civil War President Mirrored in the Daily Kentucky Press, 1860-1865
One need not delve deeply into the great body of Lincolniana, now easily available to the gen! Eral reader, to find excerpts of one kind or an other from the Kentucky press pertaining to America's Civil War President and. Martyr. But so scattered and unrelated are these fragmental reprintings of news and editorial opinion that one would scarcely believe them to be parts of a rather complete story of Lincoln's last years, particularly as his acts and utterances affected the people back home in his native State, Ken tucky. Yet such is the case and the composite narrative thus developed is the more interesting because of the frequently contrasting, if not diametrically opposing views of Kentucky's contemporary political leaders.
