Lincoln: Speeches and Writings: 1832-1858 Volume 1 (Illustrated)

* Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric images, this is the first of two superb volumes of Lincoln's speeches and writings.

* Lincoln measured the promise--and cost--of American freedom in lucid and extraordinarily moving prose. Here in Volume One of this two volume set ("Speeches and Writings 1859-1865" and "Speeches and Writings 1832-1858"), are all the significant works, including the complete Lincoln-Douglas debates, dozens of speeches, hundreds of personal and political letters, communications to generals in the field, presidential messages and proclamations, poems, and private reflections on democracy, slavery, and the meaning of the Civil War's immense impact on the United States of America.

* This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is enhanced with images carefully selected by our team of professional editors.
