Living with Lincoln

Peter W. Kunhardt, Teddy Kunhardt, George Kunhardt, Brian Oakes

It chronicles how five generations of one American family have shared the "glorious burden" of collecting, preserving and documenting a treasure trove of photographs, rare books and artifacts relating to Abraham Lincoln. In the years following the Civil War, Peter Kunhardt's ancestors, in particular, his great- grandfather, Frederick Hill Meserve, collected photographs that might have been lost forever.
