Publisher's Synopsis
In ""Lincoln Legends: Myths, Hoaxes, and Confabulations Associated with Our Greatest President"", Lincoln expert Edward Steers Jr. examines the history of fourteen longstanding beliefs surrounding our sixteenth president and juxtaposes them with the existing corroborating and contradicting evidence. In light of Americans' propensity to idolize Lincoln, Steers insists that Lincoln's greatness must transcend attempts to mythologize him and suggests that one may see the true Lincoln by stepping away from false history.
