Our official “Presidents Day” is celebrated next week, but today marks the birthday of one of the country’s greatest Presidents, Abraham Lincoln. As President’s Day has become the catch-all for all our nations Presidents, and not simply Washington and Lincoln, the history of these two men can be overlooked. Thankfully, there are authors who are bringing new life to our historic figures, and we have a few of these titles in our collection; Mr. Lincoln’s T-Mails: the untold story of how Abraham Lincoln used the telegraph to win the Civil War (973.709 WHE), The Radical and the Republican: Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and the triumph of antislavery politics (973.711 OAK), and a graphic novel, The Murder of Abraham Lincoln (GN GEA). The Library of Congress holds many of Lincoln’s paper and the White House has an extensive biography on Lincoln worth looking at. All of these resources can help spark an interest to learn more about this fascinating leader. As we approach President’s Day next week, how will you remember the leaders of our country?
