HerndonsLincoln:The True Story of a Great Life
William Herndon was one ofAbra-
ham Lincolns closest friends and
colleagues.Hedrewuponhisperson-
al history and correspondence with
LincolntopaintapictureofLincoln
thatcoverspartsofhislifeignoredby
otherhistorians.InHerndonswords,
The object of this work is to deal
with Mr. Lincoln individually and
domestically; as lawyer, as citizen,
as statesman. Special attention is
given to the history of his youth
and early manhood, and while
dwelling on this portion of his lifethe liberty is taken to insert many things that would be omitted
or suppressed in other places. The endeavor is to keep Lincoln
in sight all the time, to cling close to his side all the way through
leaving to others the more comprehensive task of writing a his-
tory of his times. I have no theory of his life to establish or de-
stroy. Mr. Lincoln was my warm devoted friend.
OneofthemostinuentialLincolnbiographies,HerndonsLincoln
