Each chapter is devoted to one of these major themes about Lincoln." "Lincoln's American Dream will be of interest to scholars, students, teachers, and Lincoln aficionados alike and will attract interest in the fields of American history, leadership, religion and culture, American studies, and African-American studies."--Jacket.
