Dan Abrams, writing with David Fisher, presents a work of narrative legal history centered on Abraham Lincoln as a practicing trial lawyer rather than as a president or national myth. The book examines the 1859 murder defense of Peachy Quinn Harrison, a young man accused of killing Greek Crafton in Springfield, Illinois, only months before Lincoln became the Republican presidential nominee. Its distinctive source base is a rare trial transcript prepared by Robert Roberts Hitt, which allows the authors to reconstruct courtroom exchanges with unusual immediacy for a nineteenth century American case. The book is not a full Lincoln biography. Its purpose is narrower and more forensic, showing how Lincoln handled evidence, witnesses, public pressure, and jurors in a case with both legal and political consequences. By placing the trial beside the approaching 1860 election, the book connects local criminal justice to national political reputation and offers a focused portrait of Lincoln before the presidency.
