This book was written by Ward Hill Lamon- Abraham Lincoln's personal bodyguard. Lamon was one of Mr. Lincoln's closest and probably his most trusted friend - a friendship that spanned nineteen years. It is a follow-up to another book The Life of Abraham Lincoln: From his Birth to his Inauguration published in 1872 that also lists Ward Hill Lamon as the author.
This story is quite remarkable for two reasons - It was published in 2010 but was written about 130 years ago by someone who knew Abraham Lincoln and this is the ONLY book Ward Hill Lamon actually wrote.

Nationally recognized author Bob O'Connor found this book in 2007 at The Huntington Library in California. He has edited it to bring to light the writings of Ward Hill Lamon. O'Connor wrote about Mr. Lamon in one of his novels The Virginian Who Might Have Saved Lincoln and does first person impressions of the bodyguard's life. As editor, he has presented the manuscript as written, but has added footnotes for clarification. O'Connor lives in Charles Town, West Virginia, within ten miles of Lamon's birthplace, Lamon's home and Lamon's final resting place.
