About this book

A quick reply, an awkward encounter, or a story told to settle an argument gives shape to this portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Alexander K. McClure's 1901 collection assembles anecdotes and speeches around the president's humor and judgment. The contents range from family matters and legal disputes to office seekers, cabinet members, and military commanders. Short entries let readers approach his public life through individual scenes rather than a continuous account of his career.

The accounts also turn from wit to wartime responsibility. Lincoln praises women raising funds for soldiers and their families, while another passage describes his demand that captured Black soldiers receive the protections given to other prisoners. His visit to Richmond brings him among people newly freed from slavery. These passages show how the collection places everyday humor beside political decisions and public addresses. It offers readers interested in Lincoln a series of glimpses into the character attributed to him by this later account.
