Happy (early) birthday, Abraham Lincoln!

Theinnerlifeofabrahamlincoln Abraham Lincoln’s birthday is still more than a month away, but we’re already celebrating.

Why? Well, for a couple of reasons. Honest Abe turns 200 this February 12, which is certainly a milestone worth celebrating. In addition, Lincoln, Nebraska, is the home of the University of Nebraska Press, and we thought it would be nice to honor our community's namesake.

Today through February 28, all Abraham Lincoln titles are on 25 percent off – including The Inner Life of Abraham Lincoln: Six Months at the White House. Author F. B. Carpenter was a painter who struck up a friendship with Lincoln and lived for six months in 1864 at the White House, working on a painting titled The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation before the Cabinet. During that time, Carpenter observed the president's daily routine, which was very different in 1864 than it is today.
