The Orignal Wit and Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln: As Reflected in His Letters and Speeches

by Abraham Lincoln

The Orignal Wit and Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln: As Reflected in His Letters and Speeches Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lincoln's words ring with great rigor, clarity, and simplicity when compared to most of today's political utterances. Here we read his witty testimonial for a brand of soap, his sharp commentaries in the rat hole letter to a New York firm, his family correspondence to a spendthrift brother, and letters to a bereaved daughter, an angry general, and many humorous and satirical responses to political challenges as well as those great moments of wisdom in his speeches and letters during the critical times in his career and in America's history. Includes his speeches and letters as postmaster, country lawyer, legislator, and president.
