About This Book

The book retells the youthful relationship between Abraham Lincoln and Ann Rutledge in the New Salem community, beginning with his return from the legislature and their first meeting by the Sangamon. It combines detailed rural landscape and village scenes with social interactions that ignite his affection, dramatizes their courtship and the deep sorrow that follows her death, and links this loss to his emotional and moral formation. Portraits of neighbors, local settings, and period atmosphere frame a sympathetic study of love, remembrance, and how early bereavement colored the subject's character.
