Summary:

"In Lincoln Illuminated and Remembered, longtime Lincoln scholar William C. Harris gathers five essays on the life and presidency of America's most highly regarded president that deserve further attention, including the development of his leadership qualities, the Mexican-American War, his plan for compensated emancipation, his policy on irregular warfare, and the career of James Rood Doolittle, who had a close political association with Lincoln. Written with his characteristically inviting prose, Harris draws on a lifetime of Lincoln scholarship to explore themes and topics that tend to be overlooked"-- Provided by publisher.
