Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A]n astonishingly interesting interpretation…Fox is wonderfully shrewd and often dazzling." —Jill Lepore, New York Times Book Review Abraham Lincoln remains America’s most beloved leader. The fact that he was lampooned in his day as "ugly and grotesque" only made Lincoln more endearing to millions. In Lincoln’s Body, acclaimed cultural historian Richard Wightman Fox explores how deeply, and how differently, Americans—black and white, male and female, Northern and Southern—have valued our sixteenth president, from his own lifetime to the Hollywood biopics about him. Lincoln continues to survive in a body of memory that speaks volumes about our nation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People's Keepsake: Or Funeral Address on the Death of Abraham Lincoln With the Principal Incidents of His Life "Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day is Israel?" 2 Samuel iii, 38. How inscrutable are the ways of Divine Providence! How incomprehensible his majestic plans and purposes! Although inscrutable to us, they are nevertheless for the best, upon the-whole. Why the good and great of earth should be so frequently taken away in their years of usefulness, and the depraved and vicious left to vex and torment society with their diabolical plots and practices, we can not tell. But we are sure that the God of infinite benevolence and power will make even the wrath of man to praise him, and the remainder of wrath he will restrain. His purposes will yet be accomplished. Our finite minds may not comprehend them, but they are all perfectly known to Him who sees the end from the beginning. Though they appear to us to move slowly, yet they are ever going forward to their completion. Guizot, one of the first French Protestant writers, says on this subject, that "Providence moves through time as the gods of Homer through space - it makes a step, and ages have rolled away." We must not grow impatient, therefore. We must not complain that the great thread of events, now unwinding from the reel of Gods providence, runs off too slowly. The significant hand upon the dial of time is working round, and a just and righteous retribution is awaiting the enemies of human progress and truth throughout the world.
