About this book
A Man of the People: A Drama of Abraham Lincoln is a 1920 stage play by Thomas Dixon Jr. (1864-1946), the North Carolina-born novelist, playwright, and lecturer whose works on the Civil War and Reconstruction era were among the best-selling American fiction of the early twentieth century. Dixon turned to Lincoln as a dramatic subject after years of writing about the war and its aftermath, and the play presents episodes from Lincoln's presidency centred on his battles with political enemies inside his own party during the darkest period of the war. Dixon idealised Lincoln as a national reconciler. The play belongs to the body of early twentieth-century American Lincoln drama and is a source for the popular Lincoln image of the period.
