Abraham Lincoln Catalog

Lincoln CatalogAbraham Lincoln was perhaps our greatest president. His prudent measures and political skills stabilized the government after the southern states seceded, and his soaring rhetoric inspired a generation to risk their lives for the great twin causes of national reconciliation and abolition of slavery. Our catalog features varied manuscripts and prints related to his election victories, the war effort, and his assassination. Two highlights are his call for a cabinet meeting to discuss compensated emancipation, and the dividers used to trace distances on Civil War maps.
