To celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, Wordsworth are releasing a new edition, which combines two classic works. Henry Ketcham's "The Life of Abraham Lincoln" was written in 1901. Ketcham's brothers served under Lincoln in the Union army, and the book draws heavily no the personal accounts of people associated with Lincoln, resulting in a perceptive and entertaining biography that gives an insight into Lincoln the man, as well as Lincoln the political figure. The majesty of Lincoln's rhetoric continues to resonate down the years, and is captured in "The Speeches and Letters of Abraham Lincoln 1832-1865", edited by Merwin Roe. This title is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest Americans that has ever lived.
