Myths After Lincoln-by lloyd lewis with an introduction by Carl Sandburg. Reader's Club Edition Edition-COPYRIGHT 1941-367 PAGES. HARDCOVER CONDITION GOOD book review; In that context, what we have here is a source of Lincoln scholarship that easily might have been written half a century later. As Lewis recounts myths we know well and those less known; it is fascinating to examine the seeds of the story that grew to be "Uncle Abraham". Many friends and loved ones close to him battled one another in the years following the assassination of Lincoln to be the interpreter of one aspect of another of Lincoln's personality. As a result of that battle, today many a reader of history knows not which stories are apocryphal and which are gospel. Legends abound. Lewis' work went far to present Lincoln based on primary sources making this volume a must read for any serious student of this president.
