Truly great writings

These are the speeches and writings we need to read and remember as representative of the humility and unselfish dedication to our country of a truly great President.

A good one-volume source for the essential Lincoln writings

While other collections of Lincoln's writings do exist, Basler's is considered the most definitive. This one-volume edition of that collection makes the most popular and important Lincoln documents accessible to a larger group of people.
