Lincoln's America 1809-1865
Estimated Publication date November 2008
Editors: Joseph Fornieri, Associate Professor of Political Science at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY and Sara Vaughn Gabbard, Vice President of The Lincoln Museum and editor of Lincoln Lore.
This new book will promote a greater understanding of Abraham Lincoln by studying him in the context of his time, early-to-mid 19th Century America. Revisionist historians frequently look at historical figures and events in terms of the present and attempt to apply current knowledge, culture, and attitudes to the past. Examples abound. Each chapter will seek to remedy this approach by providing a general study of a movement, development, or concept and a specific reflection of the subject upon the life of Lincoln.
Authors contributing chapters to Lincoln’s America are: Herman Belz, Joseph Fornieri, Allen Guelzo, Harold Holzer, James Horton, Ron Keller, David Long, John Marszalek, Lucas Morel, Phillip Paludan, Matthew Pinsker, Hans Trefousse, Michael Vorenberg, Ronald White, and Frank Williams.
