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.
