"Abraham Lincoln was our greatest president and perhaps the most influential American who ever lived. But what is his place in our country today? In this new book, Andrew Ferguson goes searching for Lincoln in homes, museums, national parks, roadside motels, and elsewhere from Rhode Island to Beverly Hills. What he finds is a man whose spirit, mythology, and philosophy continue to shape our national identity in ways both serious and surprising."
