Description: "Lincoln As I Know Him is a collection of nineteenth-century letters, diary entries, book excerpts, and speeches written by people who actually met Abraham Lincoln: How did abolitionists and slaveholders invited to the White House view him? Why, were Lincoln's childhood playmates jealous of him? How did fellow lawyers rate his legal skills?"--BOOK JACKET.
