An engaging study of Lincoln and how he shaped a nation.
Thomas Crump, born into a family of authors, published his first book in 1963. In the course of more than 40 years spent mainly as an academic, Thomas Crump has published many books. Since retirement in 1994 he has extended his range to write new books about history, science and medicine.
Thomas Crump's clear, insightful and engaging account of the
beginnings of modern America explains, in many ways, how the US
came to require the brave sacrifice of David Llewellyn and many
others. It also compellingly describes how Americans developed the
means to face one another in a dreadful conflict of mass artillery,
troop movements by rail and steamboat, early machine guns and
menacing industrial power.
