Summary:The most comprehensive portrait of noteworthy public figures can generally be seen in their personal letters and journal entries.

While Abraham Lincoln is responsible for a significant body of correspondence, this is the first time an editor has focused principally on the strategic and analytical comments to His Generals during the course of the American Civil War.
