Description

Books were a huge part of Abraham Lincoln’s life, so it’s only fitting that he’s one of the most written about subjects in American publishing. The exhibit features editions of the Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address and the Cooper Union Speech, as well as his debates with Stephen A. Douglass and 150 other items that tell the story of the 16th US president’s life.
