HerndonsLincoln:The True Story of a Great Life

William Herndon was one ofAbra-

ham Lincolns closest friends and

colleagues.Hedrewuponhisperson-

al history and correspondence with

LincolntopaintapictureofLincoln

thatcoverspartsofhislifeignoredby

otherhistorians.InHerndonswords,

The object of this work is to deal

with Mr. Lincoln individually and

domestically; as lawyer, as citizen,

as statesman. Special attention is

given to the history of his youth

and early manhood, and while

dwelling on this portion of his lifethe liberty is taken to insert many things that would be omitted

or suppressed in other places. The endeavor is to keep Lincoln

in sight all the time, to cling close to his side all the way through

leaving to others the more comprehensive task of writing a his-

tory of his times. I have no theory of his life to establish or de-

stroy. Mr. Lincoln was my warm devoted friend.
