A letter to General Ulysses S. Grant is infused with relief and gratitude for his competency in commanding Union troops in the Civil War, which was a source of constant frustration for Lincoln throughout his Presidency.
Lincoln’s scrawled pardon of a southern sympathizer, sparing him execution provides an insightful look at one of the tasks Lincoln loathed most during the turbulent years of the Civil War.
First published by the Bibliophile Society from a private collection of original letters, Lincoln Letters reminds us of the power of the written word and of the pen of Abraham Lincoln.
