Did you know Lincoln promoted another union during the Civil War? Dive into a lesser-known Lincoln story from ALA Board Member Michelle Krowl. Read about how he pulled some administrative strings to encourage a marriage ceremony in 1862.

Yes. This is a wonderful compilation of Bierceās Civil war related writings. Recommended. Thanks to my friend Bjorn Skaptason, who got me interested in Bierceās Civil War themed works.

Hello, followers! Iām an expert on the Lincoln assassination. I study all aspects of April 14, 1865, including the lives of the assassin & his conspirators. Addressing John Wilkes Boothās dark radicalization in white supremacy and political violence sheds light on Abraham Lincolnās life and legacy.
