As Sacramento hosts With Malice Toward None this week, the Abraham Lincoln exhibit commemorating the president's bicentennial birth, local author Larry Tagg is traveling to Los Angeles to promote his book The Unpopular Mr. Lincoln: The Story of America's Most Reviled President at the San Gabriel Valley Civil War Round Table in Pasadena. While many project Lincoln as one of history's greatest and most honorable presidents, Tagg has something else to say on the subject. The former musician, wh...

As an active SCV member, I have a decided bias against Lincoln. I am interested to see how the Tagg book compares and contrasts with two Thomas DiLorenzo's books I've read, (The Real Lincoln & Lincoln Unmasked).

The publisher, Savas Beatie LLC, is located here in El Dorado Hills, CA. We have signed copies of the book available. You can call us at 916-941-6896. While an interesting and unique look at Lincoln's presidency the book is definitely relevant for many reasons as mentioned by oldpup above. This book is timely as Sacramento is hosting several Lincoln exhibits including "With Malice Toward None." tammyh1119 2009-06-29T18:15:39Z Jenn Walker comment-9927 2009-06-27T23:07:16Z 2009-06-27T23:07:16Z Thanks, Casey. The book is pretty fascinating; it delves into discussions about Lincoln that I don't think are regularly taught.

The fact is that leaders are not remembered for how people felt about them when times were dark any more than for the end-results of their decisions. If present and future American presidents occasionally put our might behind the global drive for liberty, and this helps cement a global desire for it (most recently exemplified in Iran), then Lincoln's experience of being reviled while serving and lionized afterwards will not be unique. oldpup 2009-06-27T00:24:16Z Casey Kirk comment-9908 2009-06-26T22:53:28Z 2009-06-26T22:53:28Z Sounds like Mr. Tagg found a great new spin on Lincoln's story. Plunging a dagger into Lincoln's heart? Yikes! This looks really interesting great story Jenn! Casey Kirk 2009-06-26T22:53:28Z
