A concise biographical sketch traces the subject's development from formative experiences through his legal career and entrance into public life, then examines his political struggle to prevent the extension of slavery and his exercise of leadership during the national conflict. The narrative follows the presidency's efforts to organize popular support, the outbreak and progression of military campaigns through difficult years, and the final campaigns that resolved the struggle. The volume concludes by reproducing the Cooper Institute address with annotations, offering an introductory essay, related correspondence, and a compact appraisal of the leader's concluding responsibilities.
