Lincoln As a Lawyer

A reprint of the 1961 original, with a new introduction by Cullom Davis, Director and Senior Editor of The Lincoln Legal Papers. This book provides a penetrating analysis of Lincoln's law background and legal practice. No one can truly understand Lincoln as a public figure, perhaps 20% of his life, without understanding the other 80% of his life. Frank's work has admirably survived the test of time. The reappearance of this volume, in the midst of a renewed and overdue interest in lawyer Lincoln, is both a welcome sign and a valuable contribution.
