Lincoln s

Gathers the uncollected work on Lincoln by Benjamin P Thomas, regarded as the greatest Lincoln historian of his generation. This diverse collection is enhanced by an introduction by Michael Burlingame, himself a leading biographer of Lincoln, who provides a portrait of Thomas and his circuitous path toward writing history.

What the law did to and for Abraham Lincoln, and its important impact on his future presidency Despite historians' focus on the man as president and politician, Abraham Lincoln lived most of his adult life as a practicing lawyer. It was as a lawyer that he fed his family, made his reputation, bonded with Illinois, and began his political career. Lawyering was also how Lincoln learned to become an expert mediator between angry antagonists, as he applied his knowledge of the law and of human nature to settle one dispute after another. Frontier lawyers worked hard to establish respect for the law and encourage people to resolve their differences without intimidation or violence. These were the very skills Lincoln used so deftly to hold a crumbling nation together during his presidency. The growth of Lincoln's practice attests to the trust he was able to inspire, and his travels from court to court taught him much about the people and land of Illinois. Lincoln the Lawyer explores the origins of Lincoln's desire to practice law, his legal education, his partnerships with John Stuart, Stephen Logan, and William Herndon, and the maturation of his far-flung practice in the 1840s and 1850s. Brian Dirck provides a context for law as it was practiced in mid-century Illinois and evaluates Lincoln's merits as an attorney by comparison with his peers. He examines Lincoln's clientele, his circuit practice, his views on legal ethics, and the supposition that he never defended a client he knew to be guilty. This approach allows readers not only to consider Lincoln as he lived his life--it also shows them how the law was used and developed in Lincoln's lifetime, how Lincoln charged his clients, how he was paid, and how he addressed judge and jury.

A reprint of the 1961 original, with a new introduction by Cullom Davis, Director and Senior Editor of The Lincoln Legal Papers. This book provides a penetrating analysis of Lincoln's law background and legal practice. No one can truly understand Lincoln as a public figure, perhaps 20% of his life, without understanding the other 80% of his life. Frank's work has admirably survived the test of time. The reappearance of this volume, in the midst of a renewed and overdue interest in lawyer Lincoln, is both a welcome sign and a valuable contribution.
