A Tower Of Books
"Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at all."
-- Abraham Lincoln
In 1922, the New York Times wrote, "It is, perhaps, a fact that among modern Americans no one has had more books devoted to the multifarious phases of his career and personality than Abraham Lincoln."
Eighty years later, this is still true. There are over 15,000 books about Lincoln currently in print -- with more being written every day.
The last word about our 16th president will never be written, if only because each generation creates its own Lincoln. |
