2009réf. 99275New Castle DE & Chicago IL: Oak Knoll Press & Abraham Lincoln Book Shop 2009. cloth dust jacket. 6 x 9 inches. cloth dust jacket. 228 pages. With a Census of Signed Copies. Fifty years ago David Mearns at the Library of Congress wrote a twenty-page overview of the basic process that led to the publication of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Here for the first time in a detailed and readable account focusing on Lincoln's personal involvement Dave Leroy writes the full story with original correspondence contemporary newspaper accounts and photos and illustrations of the day to carry the reader from the dejected debater of 1858 to the surprise president of 1860 who rode a political bestseller to the White House. In 1954 Illinois historian Harry Pratt located and described eighteen inscribed copies of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates. In this new work 42 signed volumes are identified. Perhaps the last remaining Lincoln mystery is also explained at length: did Lincoln make one or two paste-up scrapbooks of the original newspaper texts of his and Douglas' verbatim debate remarks If only one existed why did a New York newspaper account hint at another in December 1860 If there were two what became of the second Like a lawyer before a jury Leroy marshals the facts to let the reader decide. Ultimately Mr. Lincoln's Book asks the reader to resolve the century and a half old debate: was Lincoln an author Some argue that he wasn't but Leroy leads us to conclude that Lincoln in more ways than not was author of the book publishing the debates. It is a rare day when something novel is published about Abraham Lincoln's life and work. Yet 20000 volumes later Mr. Lincoln's Book is an unknown study well researched and compellingly told. The printed volume is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing a complete copy of Lincoln's scrapbook of the debates copies and transcriptions of Lincoln's correspondence and some related political cartoons and photographs. A former prosecutor attorney general lieutenant governor and United States Nuclear Waste Negotiator Dave Leroy has written and spoken about Lincoln for thirty years. He holds an Honorary Doctorate of Law degree from Lincoln College and serves as chairman of the Governors Council of the United States Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission. This is his first book-length text about Lincoln. Leroy lives with his wife Nancy in Boise Idaho and Bordeaux France. Oak Knoll Press & Abraham Lincoln Book Shop unknown books
