There are two Abraham Lincolns: Lincoln the political celebrity, whose image has been carefully crafted by Lincoln scholars, biographers, and mythographers, and the true Lincoln, whose actual words are almost completely unknown to the general public. Why are they not known? Because they have been concealed, ignored, or misconstrued by Lincoln apologists. In some cases they have even been destroyed. Lincoln's business associates, family members, and personal friends, for example, intentionally burned many of his writings. What is it that Lincoln devotees are so afraid of, and why have they been so careful to bury all traces of the real man? The reason is simple. Exposing the hidden but authentic Lincoln would uncover both his felonious behavior and the illegalities of his war on the South in 1861. In his stunning 1,050-page work, "Lincolnology" - the only study ever undertaken on the president's suppressed, misinterpreted, and forgotten writings and speeches - Southern historian and award-winning Tennessee author Lochlainn Seabrook seeks to replace these pages so nefariously torn from our American history books. With nearly 2,000 footnotes and a 1,000-book bibliography, this well documented 400,000-word volume will forever alter the way America views its sixteenth chief executive. This special Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition includes an exhaustive index and provocative in-depth chapters on everything you need to know about so-called "Honest Abe," from his war crimes, political outrages, anti-South Reconstruction plans, black colonization efforts, and atheism, to his real views on race, secession, the Constitution, and abolition. Also included are photographs of Lincoln, his cabinet, and his military chiefs. Introduction is by Dr. J. Michael Hill, President of the League of the South, former Professor at Stillman College, former Professor of British History, University of Alabama, and author of Celtic Warfare. Foreword is by Robert Lovell, M.A., five-term mayor of Leesburg, Florida, ten-year Republican State Committee Representative, Lieutenant Colonel in Hardee's Corps, and author of Cracker Outlaw.
