Lincoln's Other White House: The Untold Story of the Man and His Presidency

The Lincolns spent the summer of 1862 north of the White House at the Soldiersâ€™ Home. The lush, cool hill overlooking the squalid capital promised the Lincolns an escape from the "city of stink." Despite fears about Lincolnâ€™s vulnerability in the secluded place, Lincoln spent a quarter of his presidency at the Soldiersâ€™ Home. But until the National Trust for Historic Preservation began restoring the cottage, little had been done to explore this missing link in Lincolnâ€™s life. Elizabeth Smith Brownstein fills in a critical gap. Using diaries, letters, and eyewitness accounts, she provides unusual perspectives on Lincolnâ€™s relationships, traces the evolution of Lincolnâ€™s image, examines the Lincoln marriage, and more. Lincolnâ€™s Other White House is a vivid evocation of a turbulent era, and an intimate portrait of the still elusive president.
