br. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), con Washington e F.D. Roosevelt il più famoso presidente degli Stati Uniti, incarna il mito della frontiera e dell'uomo che si fa da sé: dalle foreste del West al Campidoglio, da contadino a presidente. Eletto nel 1860, dovette affrontare la crisi della nazione americana precipitata nella sanguinosissima guerra civile seguita alla secessione degli stati schiavisti. Nel farlo rafforzò il potere federale, modernizzò l'economia e liberò i 4.000.000 di schiavi presenti nel Sud; ma pagò i suoi successi con la vita, assassinato pochi giorni dopo la conclusione della guerra. Il libro delinea il ritratto coinvolgente di un uomo complicato, depresso cronico e quasi insondabile, intrecciandolo alla storia violenta, vitale e contraddittoria di un paese in formazione.

1st edition. Paper Wrappers (later?), 8vo, 43 pages. Sabin 21532. Dwight here charges that The Jeffersonian party, giving itself "the title of Republican...in more correct, and definite phraseology, is called Jacobinical." The Federalists "prudently, and justly yielded" to the late presidential election, which marked their defeat. Despite the partisan rhetoric, Dwight provides a detailed perspective on the state of political parties and issues at the turn of the century. "Theodore Dwight (1764 Northampton, Mass 1846 New York City) was an American lawyer and journalist. He was the brother of Timothy Dwight, president of Yale College, and the grandson of Jonathan Edwards. He was a distinguished lawyer, a leader of the Federalist Party, and a member of Congress in 18061807, and was secretary of the Hartford Convention in 18141815. His talent as a writer made him a brilliant editor at the Hartford Mirror, the Albany Daily Advertiser, and the New York City Daily Advertiser, which he founded in 1817. Among his publications are Life and Character of Thomas Jefferson (1839) and History of the Hartford Convention (1833). He was a cousin of Aaron Burr....He was a member of the [Conn.] State council 18091815; elected as a Federalist to the Ninth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John Cotton Smith and served from December 1, 1806, to March 3, 1807; declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1806; secretary of the Hartford Convention in 18141815; moved to Albany, New York in 1815 and published the Albany Daily Advertiser 18151817....he died on June 12, 1846....In 1839, Dwight published The Character of Thomas Jefferson as Exhibited in His Own Writings, which Abraham Lincoln's law partner and biographer, William Herndon, claimed made Lincoln 'hate [Jefferson] as a man' for his duplicitous character and affair with Sally Hemings" (Wikipedia).
