The Lincoln enigma
by Gabor Boritt (2001)
About this book
"In The Lincoln Enigma, Gabor Boritt invites renowned Lincoln scholars, and rising new voices, to take a look at much-debated aspects of Lincoln's life, including his possible gay relationships, his plan to send blacks back to Africa, and his controversial treatment of the Constitution." "This cast of historians - including two Pulitzer and three Lincoln Prize winners - questions our assumptions of Lincoln, and provides a new vitality to our ongoing reflections on his life and legacy."--Jacket.
