“Brilliant . . . Ferguson’s guided tour of the often amusing, sometimes bizarre ways we remember Lincoln today . . . is heartening and even inspiring.” —Bill Kristol, Time   Abraham Lincoln was our greatest president and perhaps the most influential American who ever lived. But what is his place in our country today? In Land of Lincoln, Andrew Ferguson packs his bags and embarks on a journey to the heart of contemporary Lincoln Nation, where he encounters a world as funny as it is poignant, and a population as devoted as it is colorful.   In small-town Indiana, Ferguson drops in on the national conference of Lincoln presenters, 175 grown men who make their living (sort of) by impersonating their hero. He meets the premier collectors of Lincoln memorabilia, prized items of which include Lincoln’s chamber pot, locks of his hair, and pages from a boyhood schoolbook. He takes his wife and children on a trip across the long-defunct Lincoln Heritage Trail, a driving tour of landmarks from Lincoln’s life. This book is an entertaining, unexpected, and big-hearted celebration of Lincoln’s enduring influence on our country—and the people who help keep his spirit alive.   “A hilarious, offbeat tour of Lincoln shrines, statues, cabins and museums . . . Mr. Ferguson maps it expertly, with an understated Midwestern sense of humor that Lincoln, master of the funny story, would have been the first to appreciate.” —William Grimes, The New York Times

Mobi Land of Lincoln: Adventures in Abe's America with FREE PDF EDITION!

If Lincoln could have transported himself to present-day America, I wonder what he'd think of all the fuss? No one knows but Andrew Ferguson's book surely shows that plenty of scholars, publicists, Lincoln buffs and haters are more than willing to give it a shot. The conservative author can't help but inject snarky, funny remarks about practically every facet of the people who inhabit the Lincoln universe. From his amusing family trip through Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky in an attempt to retrace Lincoln's life; to interviewing memorabilia collectors, impersonators... excuse me... "reenactors"; visiting a bevy of memorials and enduring a business workshop that uses the 16th President as the template to empower middle managers in corporate America; you'll never find a dull moment between these pages. I didn't realize the extent that Lincoln permeated our country's commercial and cultural identity. This was very much an eye-opener. The book is an educational, fun read much in the vein of a Bill Bryson (A Walk in the Woods) work. Mr. Ferguson has written a great, entertaining book.
