The Winter 2009 issue of CWBR is now available online at www.cwbr.com. In this issue–and in the subsequent issues for 2009–we will commemorate the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. You’ll find plenty of reviews on the mountain of Lincoln books released this year as well as special features in each issue focusing on the Lincoln legacy.
Note also Leah Jewett’s “Civil War Treasures” column in this issue, in which she has compiled a guide to Lincolniana at LSU. It highlights Special Collections’ holdings related to the sixteenth president, including manuscripts in the Louisiana and Lower Mississippi Valley Collections and books from the Judge Warren L. Jones Lincoln Collection and the Michael Lehman Williamson Collection of Civil War Books for Young People.
