Most books about Abraham Lincoln end with his assassination. That’s the day this book begins. The Last Lincolns tells the largely unknown tale of the family’s fall from grace in the years and generations following the president’s murder. The story—rife with insanity, floods, fires, alcohol abuse, and squandered fortunes—is brought right up to what may be the last generation of Lincoln descendants, providing an unforgettable glimpse into the personal legacy left by the man who could unite a nation, but not his own family. Plus: this beautiful new paperback edition includes a family tree.
