Description: This book presents a lecture from 1866 revealing new facts about the relationship between a young Abraham Lincoln and Ann Rutledge. The author, William H. Herndon, was a long-time law partner of Lincoln and intimately familiar with his personal life. Herndon's account of Lincoln's courtship of Rutledge is based on interviews with people who knew the couple, shedding light on the tragic love story that deeply affected Lincoln's life and career. Beyond the romance, the lecture also offers a captivating glimpse into the frontier community of New Salem, the setting for Lincoln's early political aspirations. Herndon's lecture not only offers a fresh perspective on an iconic American figure but also an invaluable historical record of a transformative period in his life, providing profound insights into the human story that shaped Lincoln's legacy.
