About this product
Product Information
One small town in New York State played a significant role in the sixteenth president's history. Three native sons of Homer - a detective, a journalist, and a painter - helped inscribe Abraham Lincoln's place in the nation's iconic imagery. This exploration of these men and the town that produced them offers insight into the complexities of presidential image-making, and reveals why a small New York town has become a choice destination for Lincoln historians.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
