520    "An expert analysis of Abraham Lincoln's three most 
       powerful speeches reveals his rhetorical genius and his 
       thoughts on our national character. Abraham Lincoln, our 
       greatest president, believed that our national character 
       was defined by three key moments: the writing of the 
       Constitution, our declaration of independence from England,
       and the beginning of slavery on the North American 
       continent. His thoughts on these landmarks can be traced 
       through three speeches: the Lyceum Address, the Gettysburg
       Address, and the Second Inaugural. The latter two are well
       -known, enshrined forever on the walls of the Lincoln 
       Memorial. The former is much less familiar to most, 
       written a quarter century before his presidency, when he 
       was a 28 year-old Illinois state legislator. In His 
       Greatest Speeches, Professor Diana Schaub offers a 
       brilliant line-by-line analysis of these timeless works, 
       placing them in historical context and explaining the 
       brilliance behind their rhetoric. The result is a complete
       vision of Lincoln's worldview that is sure to fascinate 
       and inspire general readers and history buffs alike. This 
       book is a wholly original resource for considering the 
       difficult questions of American purpose and identity, 
       questions that are no less contentious or essential today 
       than they were over two hundred years ago"--|cProvided by
