John Berry's, "A Night of Horrors."
John Berry has written a masterpiece of historical reality woven into the form of a novel. If he had not admitted it, I would have thought it all the work of a trans-dimensional spy. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln has been the subject of numerous literary and historical works; but a novel of the very day with precise historical accuracy is something I have not before encountered. The horror of it all, the reactions of the people involved, and the political relationships of the time are all brought together by Dr. Berry with glorious prose. I put the book down feeling as if I had been there myself, had smelt the smoke and tasted the blood.The assassination of Lincoln has received so much literary attention over the past 146 years; I had doubted anyone could add much to the tale. I was wrong. Dr. John Berry has taken it to a new level with his blending of research and creative license in a completely believable way. Historical novels will never be the same.

History in a fun read
John Berry's historical novel of the assassination of President Lincoln is a gourmet serving. I often felt I was an invisible companion dragged along beside John Wilkes Booth, reading his mind, but unable to influence his actions as he first planned to capture President Lincoln and General Grant, and later as he reshaped his diabolical plan to the assassination. The manner in which the author used the writings and memoirs of Booth to construct the man's dialogue made it feel like we were actually listening to the mad man. As for Lincoln, history has impressed us with Lincoln's stature and eloquence, but the author also revealed Abraham's humanity. The author's masterful capture of the emotions and insecurities of the leadership of our country during the time of the first assassination of a sitting American president was profound. His telling of so much about other characters critical to this history was both enlightening and entertaining. The tragedy that also befell the person and...

New insight into a tragic event
This book was recommended to me by a long time friend who knew that I would be interested in this "novel" approach to a (the?) defining moment of the 19th century.The book is a page turner, and gave me insight (real or imagined by the novelist) into the thoughts, fears, and emotions of those involved. It is also a great window to the period, less than 150 years ago. The speech patterns, the mannerisms were well caught by Berry.My only complaint was the occasion overuse of a word or phrase, but that is easily overlooked by the high quality of the narrative.I want more.

The Lincoln-Douglas Debates

A Seven Encounter Thriller
These are the legendary debates between Abraham Lincoln and Senator Stephen Douglas for the senate seat from Illinois. The debates are on the question of continuing or ending American slavery. Lincoln loses the senate election, after these debates. But he electrifies the country (and listening you can understand why).I literally would cheer loudly sometimes, as though I was in the audience in real time!.Then two years later they face off again - this time in the election for President - and the rest is history!These debates are a thriller! What magnificent construction, thrust & parry, acid and suckle. No seven game basketball series between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird can come even close to the excitement, consequence and sheer suspense of these 7 verbal duels!In spite of the fact that we should not judge people for their thoughts and actions in their time, with our values today, I literally had to overcome my feelings of wanting...

Phenomenal recording!
The Dreyfuss - Strathairn recording of these monumental historical debates helped me to appreciate the magnificent intellect of both Lincoln and Douglas, while almost squirming from both of their attitudes regarding slavery. Anyone who has an appreciation of history or politics simply must listen to this recording. It is one of the best you will ever hear.

Product Description

Complete texts for all 7 debates between the incumbent Democratic senator from Illinois and the 1858 nominee of the infant Republican party. Paving the way for modern debates between political candidates, the events brought Lincoln (who lost the election) to national prominence and helped propel him to the presidency in 1860.

almost as good as being there (in some ways better)
This 14 disc set includes the texts as transcribed by newspaper reporters, with introductions and occasional interjections by the audience. Allen Guelzo, who introduces the debates, does not sound like a college professor who happened to write a very fine book on the debates, but as another professionally trained voice. His spoken introduction is valuable for setting the context, but his book is even better. A little reading ahead of time will help you with the Lecompton constitution, Douglas and Buchanan's conflicted relationship, and Lincoln's reading of the combined effects of Dred Scott and the Fugitive Slave Law.Richard Dreyfuss gives Judge Douglas a fair reading and then some. In the later debates, under the stress of travel and...

Product Description

"Mr. Seward, I have been shaking hands all day, and my hand is nearly paralyzed. If my name ever gets into history it will be signing this proclamation, and my whole soul is in it. If my hand trembles when I sign the proclamation those who will examine the document hereafter will say "He hesitated."" Then resting his arm a moment, he turned to the table, took up the pen, and slowly and firmly wrote, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. He smiled as, handing the paper to Mr. Seward, he said "That will do."

The Pens that Made Lincoln is a short illustrated book that describes in detail the pens and writing implements Abraham Lincoln used during his lifetime, up until his assassination in 1865. The book tells of Lincoln's early years and his writing habits and how he evolved from slate pencils to goose and eagle quills to gold dip pens. The book describes how Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation and what became of the pen he used. The book also examines Lincoln's writing quirks and how forensic document examiners use these to identify Abraham Lincoln forgeries.

The author, Ron L. Dutcher has been a professional antique pen dealer and restoration expert for 25 years. He brings together his love of pens with his love of history into a delightful read. Top to learn more

Product Description

There was a review that talks about computer "jibberish" appearing in the text. That was only at the beginning of this book. I cleaned it up though. There may be a little leftover "jibberish" but it looked fine to me. There are page titles that do interupt sentences just as happens in the original book, but it didn't really bother my reading the text.

This is the Abraham Lincoln bibliography, comp. by Daniel Fish: vol. XI, p. [135]-380

The author is Abraham Lincoln, the editor is John Nicolay, the joint ed is John Hay, Richard Watson Gilder, and Daniel Fish.

Subjects: : United States -- Politics and government 1845-1861; United States -- Politics and government 1861-1865; Illinois -- Politics and government.

Fascinating reading for anyone interetsed in one of the uS's greatest presidents.
