Abraham Lincoln in 1856 was at a hard point, personally. Depressed, edgy, and frequently despondent, he had grown uninterested in his work as a lawyer. He saw himself as a former congressman with little future in politics. Then in May of 1856, he became attracted to the situation of the gruesome murder of any blacksmith named George Anderson. Lincoln was asked to take part in the situation, and he did so with zeal. The Anderson case reflected a dark world hidden within the optimism and innocence of the young Illinois city of Springfield. Along with the Anderson murder, Lincoln's legal skills were challenged as nothing you've seen prior, and it became the situation that defined his legal career. This book takes one from the mystery of the Anderson case, as investigated by Abraham Lincoln, to the mystery of Lincoln, as investigated by the author.
