This life of Lincoln's friend, law partner, and biographer is such a book. It has a two-fold focus: on the \"Abe Lincoln in Illinois\" days-the days of Lincoln's courting, arguing, and politicking; and on Herndon's long and wracking fight to publish his biography in the face of poverty, drive, and disillusionment, it achieves the impetus and grandeur of tragedy. David Donald has given us a magnificent account of how a country lawyer became a national figure and what happened to the friend he left behind when he became president. An impressive study of mythmakers and mythmaking, this biography of William Henry Herndon, a man intimately connected to movements for abolition of slavery, temperance, religious liberalism, currency reform, and women's rights is also a sweeping picture of America just before, during, and after the Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Herbert Donald, \u003c\/b\u003e Charles Warren professor of American history at Harvard, has won two Pulitzer Prizes for biography: \u003ci\u003eCharles Sumner and the Coming of the Civil War;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLook Homeward: A Life of Thomas Wolfe.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 8.64 x 5.46 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53191474151731,"sku":"9780306803536","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dmI3a295TTlJU1U3SU9hdmttWDJ5QT09.webp?v=1775044774","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/lincolns-herndon-a-biography-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
