CHESTERTOWN, MD— This month marks the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s announcing the Emancipation Proclamation. In a much-anticipated new book, historian Louis Masur chronicles the little-known political forces and behind-the-scenes intrigues that shaped – and nearly derailed – the most momentous decision that an American president has ever made.
Masur will
share the little-known story of Lincoln’s backstage drama in a free public
lecture Thursday, September 27, at Washington College. The talk will take place
at 5:30 p.m. in Hynson Lounge on the main campus, 300 Washington Avenue,
Chestertown, and will be followed by a book signing. It is sponsored by the
College’s C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience.
Lincoln’s
Hundred Days: The Emancipation Proclamation and the War for the Union has just been
published by Harvard University Press. The book reveals the political, moral and personal concerns that
plagued Abraham Lincoln in the 100 days between September
22, 1862, when he first presented a formal draft of the Emancipation
Proclamation to his cabinet, and New Year’s Day 1863, when he signed a
much-altered final version of the executive order.
“Masur takes a pivotal moment in time and opens it up like a master
watchmaker, revealing the intricate, hidden mechanisms, the tensions and
balances, concealed within that turning point of American history,” said Adam
Goodheart, the Starr Center’s Hodson Trust-Griswold director. “Lincoln’s Hundred Days is a finely
wrought and important book.”
Masur,
who is Professor of American Studies and History at Rutgers University, was previously the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor in American Institutions and Values at
Trinity College. His earlier
books have covered topics as diverse as capital punishment, baseball’s first
World Series and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born
to Run” album. Masur’s essays and reviews
have appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Chicago
Tribune, and Los Angeles Times.
