About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster Trade, 2000. Hard Cover. As New/Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ISBN:0684855151. Abraham Lincoln's was a martyrdom waiting to happen, and his portraits show it. For myself I do not much like the lo ok of him in his youth or young manhood, with his hair swarmed down and his eyes sharp. Even when he had grown his beard and assumed his final persona, there often seems to me something too calculati n g about his face, something almost sly. But as the decades passed, and time after time he went to Brady's studio for another sitting, to my mind a true beauty entered his features. A sad, resigned k in dness cleared his eyes and mouth of cunning then, and he began to look as though all the world's sufferings, all his own anxieties, had soured any resentment from his soul. Part historical fact, pa rt travelogue, part reconstruction, and part personal speculation - the author's 1st book on America since the acclaimed Manhattan '45..
