186034566New York: Horace Greeley & Co. 1860. 32pp caption title as issued printed in double columns. Stitched. Mild toning Very Good. <br/><br/> This "earliest Scripps biography" Monaghan was first printed in Chicago in July 1860. Our New York imprint was "printed from plates cast from the same type forms" as the Chicago edition Wessen. It touches the major events of Lincoln's life and career devoid of some of the more romantic mythology e.g. Ms. Rutledge but including the far-fetched notion that Lincoln deliberately lost the 1858 Senatorial race in order to enhance his presidential prospects. <br/> Howes calls it the "most authentic of Lincoln campaign biographies." Lincoln's short-lived career in Congress is reviewed including his opposition to the Mexican War and his support of the Wilmot Proviso. A 'must' for the Lincoln or Presidential campaign collection. <br/>Howes S247a aa. Monaghan 79. Miles 418a. Wessen 12. LCP 9235. Horace Greeley & Co. unknown books
