Description: "From Abe Lincoln's law offices to the sixteenth president's White House office; from the address in Springfield, Illinois, where he and Mary Todd made up after a premarital spat, to the window he jumped out of in order to avoid a quorum call in the Illinois General Assembly, to the spot where he first heard the news of Robert E. Lee's surrender - this unprecedented volume of Lincoln lore takes you there.

In it, Ralph Gary, avid Lincoln scholar, also answers dozens of lingering questions about Lincoln's life as he sifts for the truth among the many disputes that continue to rage among Lincoln experts and enthusiasts."--BOOK JACKET.
