Blumetti's book is a comprehensive examination of Lincoln's life and legacy, from his humble beginnings in Kentucky to his tragic assassination in 1865. Along the way, Blumetti explores Lincoln's complex personality, his political beliefs, and his role as the leader of the Union during the Civil War.

One of the things that makes Lincoln Lives so unique is Blumetti's focus on Lincoln's long shadow. In the years since his death, Lincoln has been transformed into a symbol of American values and ideals. He has been invoked by presidents and politicians of all stripes, and his image has been used to sell everything from cars to candy bars.

But what does it mean to say that Lincoln lives? And how has his legacy been shaped by the different ways that he has been remembered and commemorated? These are the questions that Blumetti explores in the final section of his book.

Lincoln Lives is a must-read for anyone interested in American history or the life of Abraham Lincoln. Blumetti's meticulously researched and engagingly written book offers a fresh perspective on one of the most important figures in American history.
