{"product_id":"lincoln-and-his-world-richard-lawrence-miller-9780786459285","title":"Lincoln and His World: Volume 3, the Rise to National Prominence, 1843-1853","description":"\u003cp\u003e Based on deep consultation of seldom-examined primary sources, this third volume in Richard Lawrence Miller's massive Lincoln biography follows Lincoln's long effort to win a seat in Congress, his activity there, and his return to Illinois--chastened by his Washington experience. Topics include: Lincoln's anti-slavery efforts in Congress; the popularity of his stance against the Mexican War (which, contrary to common belief, didn't significantly harm his political reputation); his support of Zachary Taylor's presidential campaign and his subsequent efforts to win a patronage job from the Taylor White House; his political activities after returning to Illinois; and his generally happy home life with Mary and his sons. Throughout the work, a new portrait emerges of Lincoln as a canny politician, making his own luck by striking swiftly and strongly when opportunities arose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Lawrence Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 078645928X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786459285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Richard Lawrence Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072764637439,"sku":"9780786459285","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc25d4d9-fda4-40ba-aca6-3db3537eba66.jpg?v=1685443861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lincoln-and-his-world-richard-lawrence-miller-9780786459285","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
