"What I did, I did after a very full deliberation, and under a very heavy and solemn sense of responsibility. I can only trust in God I have made no mistake."
-Abraham Lincoln, The Writings of Abraham Lincoln, Volume VI (1862-1863)
The Writings of Abraham Lincoln, Volume VI (1862-1863) (1905) by Abraham Lincoln was edited by Arthur Brooks Lapsley and includes numerous war-related telegrams, speeches, and memoranda sent by the president to generals and statesmen. While no books were written by Lincoln about his experience guiding the nation through the Civil War, this volume gives unique insights into that tumultuous time period. The primary source documents in Volume VI are part of an eight-volume series (also available from Cosimo Classics). This book is one that history lovers will definitely want to add to their personal collection.
