Lots of talk around these days about the movie Lincoln - which reminds us (you guessed it!) of all the books in the Bullis collection about Lincoln's life and his years as president. The one that stands out to us right now is Abraham Lincoln and Men of War-Times, written by Alexander K. McClure (1892, The Times Publishing Co., Philadelphia).
Alexander K. MClure was an associate of Abraham Lincoln, so this book gives an insider's view of Lincoln as president and politician.
If you've already seen the movie, this book will give you another viewpoint for comparison. And if you haven't (and don't plan to), it will help you better understand this president who left a lasting impression on our country. Either way, we invite you to take a look at the Bullis Room's copy.
