Download Abraham Lincoln: A Life, Volume Two AudioBook Free
Within the first multivolume biography of Abraham Lincoln to be publicized in ages, Lincoln scholar Michael Burlingame offers a fresh look at the life of one of America's biggest presidents. Adding the field records of preceding biographers along with ages of research in multiple manuscript archives and long-neglected newspapers, this exceptional work will both adjust and reinforce our current understanding of America's 16th leader. In level 2, Burlingame examines Lincoln's presidency and the tests of the Civil Battle. He supplies exciting information on the turmoil over Fort Sumter and the relentless office seekers who plagued Lincoln. He introduces listeners to the president's fights with hostile paper editors and his quarrels with incompetent field commanders. Burlingame also interprets Lincoln's private life, discussing his marriage to Mary Todd, the untimely loss of life of his kid, Willie, to disease in 1862, and his repeated anguish in the enormous individual costs of the battle.
