Coles Abraham Lincoln: A Private Life at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Abraham Lincoln writes here in the closing weeks of the American Civil War, with victory near, the Union preserved, and peace still uncertain.
In this imagined private account, Lincoln reflects on the burdens of command, the political bargains behind emancipation, the cost paid by soldiers and families, and the strange loneliness of leadership when every decision carries the weight of lives unseen. He considers ambition, grief, timing, mercy, and the uneasy truth that history celebrates outcomes while forgetting what they required.
This is not the marble figure of monuments or textbooks. It is a sharp, humane, politically gifted man still trying to hold together a wounded republic while knowing that triumph does not end division.
Private Lives presents historical figures in their own voice. Each book stands alone and can be read in any order.
The events are real.
The chronology is real.
The voice is imagined.
