232 pages
Summary: Abraham Lincoln was devoted to his country - and to his family.
President Lincoln called America a "House Divided" but he struggled to
keep his own house united. It would prove to be an impossible task.
Sickness, loss and family tensions overwhelmed Abraham, Mary, and their
four sons. Opening up the Lincoln family album, noted Lincoln scholar
Harold Holzer highlights the family's heartaches and happiness.
Illustrated with archival photographs and backed by extensive primary
source material, this compelling portrait illuminates the private lives
of four generations of a prominent American family.
