Twenty three years at the bar, and it shaped everything that came after. Hill reconstructs Lincoln's legal career: circuit riding through the mud season, the almanac that broke a murder case, the railroad clients, the reaper trial where Stanton snubbed him, and the courtroom habits that turn up later in the debates and the state papers. The apprenticeship for the presidency.
