520 1 $a"A few years ago, anticipating the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth in 2009, Jim Percoco, a history teacher with a passion for both Lincoln and public sculpture, set off to see what he might learn about some of these monuments - what they meant when they were unveiled, and what they mean to us today. The result is this captivating book, a fascinating chronicle of four summers on the road looking for Lincoln stories in statues of marble and bronze." "Percoco chronicles the history of each monument, spotlighting its artistic, social, political, and cultural origins. His descriptions of the works so often seen as cliches are fresh and revealing and tease meaning from mute stone and cold metal - raising provocative questions not just about who Lincoln might have been but also about what we've wanted him to be in the monuments we've built."--BOOK JACKET.
