Summary:
No American president has enjoyed as intimate a relationship with the soldiers in his army as did the man they called Father Abraham. In Lincolns Men, historian William C. Davis draws on thousands of unpublished letters and diariesthe voices of the volunteersto tell the hidden story of how a new and untested president became Father throughout both the army and the North as a whole.
How did Lincoln inspire the faith and courage of so many shattered men, as they wandered the inferno of Shiloh or were entrenched in the siege of Vicksburg? Why did soldiers visiting Washington feel free to stroll into the White House as if it were their own home? In this thorough and authoritative work, Davis removes layers of mythmaking to recapture the real moods and feelings of an army facing one of historys bloodiest conflicts. Lincolns Men casts a new light on our most famous president and on Americas revolutionon our countrys father and its rebirth.
