WINNER OF THE LINCOLN FORUM BOOK PRIZE A Lincoln classic...superb. ---The Washington Post Magisterial...Wholly original, gorgeously crafted...The story of Lincoln\'s inaugural journey has never been told in such rich detail. --Harold Holzer, The Wall Street Journal At last count there were about 15,000 books on Lincoln, not all of them are worth reading. Lincoln on the Verge is. --Jeff Glor, CBS This Morning Loaded with high drama, danger, and plentiful suspense. --Ron Chernow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Washington: A Life As a divided nation plunges into the deepest crisis in its history, Abraham Lincoln boards a train for Washington and his inauguration--an inauguration Southerners have vowed to prevent by any means necessary.

The journey would draw on all of Lincoln\'s mental and physical reserves. But the President-Elect discovered an inner strength, which deepened with the exhausting ordeal of meeting millions of Americans. Lincoln on the Verge is quite simply as good as it gets in the art of writing biography (Washington Independent Review of Books), telling the story of America\'s greatest president and the obstacles he overcame well before he could take the oath of office a
