Download Did Lincoln Own Slaves?: And Other Frequently Asked Questions about Abraham Lincoln AudioBook Free
Our most revered president gets a distinctive and uniquely engaging biography fashioned from the answers to the most frequent-and most unusual and surprising-questions asked about Abraham Lincoln. The type of law did Lincoln practice? Did he imprison his political enemies? That which was it in his youth that put him in relation to greatness? They are a few of the a huge selection of questions that Gerald J. Prokopowicz was asked most often during the nine years he served as scholar-in-residence at the Lincoln Museum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In this book, he organizes the questions along the timeline of Lincoln's life to give us a portrait of the sixteenth president unlike any we've had before. The questions range all over in subject matter and seriousness. Some are inspired by recent reinterpretations of Lincoln's actions (Was he a racist?), plus some delve into what previous generations considered inappropriate (Was he gay?). Some are products of scholarly investigation (If he were alive today, could he get elected?), yet others of idle curiosity (What were his favorite foods?). Some are drawn from today's headlines (Did his presidential actions violate the Constitution?), yet others from today's tabloids (Did doctors really raise him from the dead?). Prokopowicz's authoritative, often surprising responses illuminate areas of Abraham Lincoln's life, work, and legacy about which people remain endlesly curious. Eminently readable, informative, and entertaining.
