Lincoln: Twenty Years on Eastern Prairie
Summary
The book's 328 pages include rare pictures such as one of the old McCormack House where Lincoln wrote his acceptance to speak at the Cooper Union in New York, and the Danville Lincoln/Lamon law office. The "Endnotes" are crammed with source information about the prime political base of Lincoln on the Eastern prairie of Illinois and the relatively unknown names of his ardent supports in that area. The author cities area newspapers, courthouses and Fithian family information (Dr. Fithian was a friend, political supporter and long-time client Lincoln) not previously published as sources for the work.
