Annotation The history professor emeritus of the University of Virginia examines the role Lincoln's image has played in American thought. Celebrated in poetry and drama as well as biographies, the "martyred" president was, Peterson argues, mythologized to meet the needs of the moment--as the great emancipator, the self-made man, and other archetypes that may or may not reflect reality.
