Description

From the writer of Lincoln: A Photobiography, comes a clear-sighted, sparsely researched account of 2 surprisingly parallel lives and how they intersected at a vital moment in U.S. history. Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass were both self-taught, both great readers and believers within the importance of literacy, both men born poor who by their very own efforts reached positions of power and prominence—Lincoln as president of the US and Douglass as probably the most famous and influential African American of his time. Regardless that their meetings were few and brief, their exchange of ideas helped to finish the Civil War, reunite the nation, and abolish slavery. Includes bibliography, source notes, and index.
