Under Lincoln's Hat by Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation
What is the oldest artifact linked to Abraham Lincoln? What does a poem written when he was just a schoolboy say about his character? Taking its cue from The History of the World in 100 Objects, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum have selected 100 items from their extensive and rare collection that will give readers an intimate glimpse into the turning points of Lincoln's life and presidency. From a page taken from his sum book, to the gloves Lincoln wore the night he was assassinated, these objects reveal a sense of the man and his times in a fresh and immediate way. Handsomely designed, with more than 125 photographs visually complimenting the text, Under Lincoln's Hat will be a gorgeous book and a great gift for anyone interested in one of the most iconic figures in American history.
Under Lincoln’s Hat illuminates the life of our sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln, in the most personal of ways through storytelling and imagery as only the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and its vast collections can doIt is a must-read for Lincoln lovers. -- Pulitzer Prize Historian, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian
