Lincoln Shot: A President's Life Remembered

This is a brilliant and beautiful biography of Abraham Lincoln - conceived as an anniversary edition of a newspaper detailing the events of Lincoln's assassination, along with his life story: his boyhood, his time as an aspiring politician and a family man, and his presidency during the Civil War. Strongly evocative of the time and the nation's mood, the book has been designed to resemble a nineteenth- century newspaper, combining pen and ink drawings, archival photography, and period typography. Meticulously researched and exquisitely designed, Lincoln Shot is a uniquely inviting and accessible tribute to Lincoln.
