An enjoyable look at a man on the “edge of politics” who had a strong influence on Lincoln’s development. Joshua Speed is overlooked in the history of Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War.
The author uses correspondence between Lincoln and Speed, the historical context and the recollections of other contemporaries of the time, to build a narrative of an under rated friendship in American history.
Both men have a similar outlook on life and their similar tendencies bring them closely together allowing them to find support in their friendship which would endure over thirty years. I found the insights of the author fascinating.
One criticism I have of the book is that it tends to over labour the point that Lincoln and Speed did not have a gay relationship. If the author believes this to be the case, I believe he should put forth that theory and then concentrate on providing documented aspects of their friendship and not rely on inconclusive evidence.
Overall it was great to learn of a man who has played such an important part, (but who has stood in the shadow), of such an important historical figure as Abraham Lincoln.… (altro)
