Author Description

An audiobook to be treasured by all history buffs: the companion volume to the ABC TV documentary. This remarkable biography presents Abraham Lincoln as we have never before seen him. The insightful and vibrant narrative draws extensively on diaries, letters, and other primary sources to provide a remarkably close-up view of Lincoln: the boy, the homespun politician, the president, the military leader, the man with his family. Philip B. Kunhardt, Jr., Philip B. Kunhardt III and Peter W. Kunhardt give us the fascinating life-- from birth to death--of the extraordinary man who was the 16th president of the United States. The companion volume to the forthcoming four-hour ABC-TV documentary miniseries presents Abraham Lincoln as we have never seen him before. The text draws heavily on diaries, letters, and other primary sources, and the 900 illustrations are taken from the peerless Meserve collection. Includes unpublished photographs by Mathew Brady and other leading photographers of the day.
