Written by a longtime friend and ally, Lincoln the Citizen offers a rare character study and insightful biography of Lincoln before he became president. Michael Burlingame restores material cut by editors of the original 1907 publication to present Henry Clay Whitneys work in full.

Whitneys work reveals the legal and political spheres where Lincoln moved while providing eyewitness accounts and intimate stories shared by Lincoln himself. Whitneys unique vantage point informs analyses of everything from Lincolns melancholic temperament to his colorful early career to views on his marriage and family life. Burlingame places Whitneys singular contributions within Lincoln studies but also weighs criticisms of the book and disputes over what information the author may or may not have invented.

A restored edition of an invaluable memoir, Lincoln the Citizen presents a wealth of overlooked biographical detail by one of the people who knew Lincoln best.

Industry Reviews

"Whitney's memoir is an extremely valuable view of Lincoln before Lincoln became the object of everyone's view as the sixteenth president. This edition will clearly complement Burlingame's other outstanding editions of Lincoln memoirists."--Allen C. Guelzo, author of Our Ancient Faith: Lincoln, Democracy, and the American Experiment
