Sommario/riassunto |
|
Drawing on a range of primary documents - speeches, newspaper accounts and editorials, private letters, and memoirs - Hans Trefousse gives the voices of Lincoln's own time. Politicians and ordinary people, soldiers and statesmen, abolitionists and slaveholders alike, give a chorus of American opinion. |
