Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. He guided the nation through the Civil War, preserved the Union, and played a major role in the abolition of slavery. His achievements and remarkable life story make him, arguably, the most iconic person in American history and the nation's greatest president. However, Lincoln is often remembered as simply "Honest Abe" or the "rail-splitter." Going beyond what most Americans were taught in school, Robert Watson, a professor of American history at Lynn University, explores the many sides of this magnificently complex man, including his knack for oratory, love of literature, his physical strength, humor and humility, and his looks, loves, and losses.
