The New York Times Book Review has called Douglas L. Wilson "the leading historian on the young and private Lincoln." The provocative selections in this book address topics as disparate as William H. Herndon and his informants, Lincoln's favorite poem, his mysterious broken engagement, the text of his debates with Stephen A. Douglas, and a previously unknown assault on Peter Cartwright.
