Anotace knihy

Although Illinois enjoys the indisputable title of "The Land of Lincoln," one small town in New York State played a significant role in the history of the 16th president. Three native sons of Homer---a detective, a journalist, and a painter---helped to inscribe Abraham Lincoln's place in the nation's iconic imagery. Private investigator Eli DeVoe foiled an assassination plot against Lincoln before his first inauguration, journalist William Osborn Stoddard rose from an early booster of Lincoln's political career to become an influential secretary of the president, and artist Francis Bicknell Carpenter painted The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation before the Cabinet, the renowned painting that still hangs in the U.S. Capitol. This exploration of these men and the town that produced them offers insight into the complexities of presidential image-making and reveals why the Lincoln Forum Bulletin has named Homer "a new Lincoln mecca.")
