Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In THE LINCOLN NO ONE KNOWS, Webb Garrison focused his life-long study of Abraham Lincoln upon the mysteries that continue to bewilder those who try to understand the man. If Lincoln was against slavery, why did he countermand early efforts to free slaves? How did this high-income attorney become packaged as the “rail-splitter candidate: for president? 

Written in Garrison’s warm, conversational style, this unique book reveals the depth and complexity of one of America’s greatest presidents.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Engaging Look, September 16, 2002
This review is from: The Lincoln No One Knows: The Mysterious Man Who Ran the Civil War (Hardcover)
Some may find the book ofensive.As Lincoln is one of the greatest American Presidents and heros of all time,but I think to read this book you need to keep an open mind.
Pople I think do not like for when histrorians and such dig through his hstory and prefer to enjoy the egnima that the man we all love is known today.
Having said that I would be weary reading this book if you have not read or done lots of resarch on the man.
I give this book three stars mostly becaouse I knew alot of the information that the book had ,but the point of view the author was giving was intersting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who *is* the real Lincoln, anyway ?, February 6, 2003
By "zzippy" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This book is an excellent addition to anyone's library of books about this critical figure in American history. Unlike some reviewers, I actually bought, and read this book, and bothered to research some of the authors surprising assertions.

It amazes me how hysterical and insulting people will get when faced with facts about something contrary to what they are familiar with. So many Lincoln quotes, for instance, have long been known to be sheer fabrication; mythology, simply untrue and not originating from Lincoln at all. So many assertions about Lincoln's intentions and beliefs have been made that are utterly contrary to what Lincoln himself said and wrote. As with any historical figure, there are people that idolize and create myths, and there are those who are real historians, who actually do their homework. This book is a product of the work of a person in the latter category.

Shocking and contrary to what we were told as school children about Lincoln, the story of the real Lincoln is much more interesting and base than the myth makers would have us believe. Lincoln was, after all, a politician, a Statist, and a Federalist. He declared martial law, took away citizens basic constitutional rights, jailed newspaper reporters and statesmen that disagreed with him, and went against the founding father's explicit intentions as well as the Constitution and Bill of Rights in creating a massive, unrestricted, powerful centralized federal government. Lincoln, as it turns out, was no saint after all. The real story is always grittier and more interesting than the fantasy. If you want a taste of the real Lincoln, and if you are capable of dealing with some unpleasant facts about the man and the legend, read this book, it's a good start.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new, nothing cited, November 10, 2007
By Dennis Brandt (Red Lion, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is mistitled because it contains absolutely nothing that is new and certainly nothing that is not presented in better fashion elsewhere. It also lacks any sources, which grants Garrison the freedom to embellish what he doesn't know, e.g., his claim that lawyer Lincoln earned $5,000 every during the decade of the 1850s.

I have not bought this book as I would not let one penney fall into Garrison's pocket, but I've perused this volume heavily. I wish that I could have given it 0 stars. Read more
