Comprehensive guide to Lincoln literature and pamphlets
This meticulously assembled bibliography collects works that relate distinctly to Abraham Lincoln, presenting a clear, cataloged view of the era’s Lincolniana for researchers and collectors alike.
This edition explains its scope, method, and organization, and it notes the limitations of any single bibliography. It shows how entries are prepared, how to use the index words, and how different types of publications are treated. It emphasizes that the book is a reference tool, not a complete life of Lincoln, and it guides readers toward a broad field of Lincoln-related materials.
