This rare compilation of four very personal letters penned by Abraham Lincoln provides powerful insight into the man himself. Vook explores the letters in seven compelling and insightful videos that illuminate the meaning behind Lincoln’s carefully selected words.

Lincoln’s letter to his illiterate father in which he agrees to send him money is accompanied by a frank letter of admonition to his ne’er do well brother for his inability to manage money.

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.

Explore Lincoln’s letters through these incredible vook videos and images of the original handwritten letters.
