Revered by the public, respected by scholars, and imitated by politicians, Abraham Lincoln remains influential more than two hundred years after his birth. His memory has inspired books, monuments, and museums and also sparked controversies, rivalries, and forgeries. That so many people have been interested in Lincoln for so long makes him an ideal subject for exploring why history matters to ordinary Americans as well as to academic specialists.In Everybody's History, Keith A. Erekson focuses on the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society—an organization composed of lawyers, historians, collectors, genealogists, teachers, college presidents, and newspaper editors—who joined together during the 1920s and 1930s to recover a part of Lincoln's life his biographers had long ignored: the years from age seven to twenty-one when he lived on the Indiana frontier. Participants in the "Lincoln Inquiry," as it was commonly known, researched old records, interviewed aging witnesses, hosted pageants, built a historical village, and presented their findings in public and in print. Along the way they defended their methods and findings against competitors in the fields of public history and civic commemoration, and rescued some of Indiana's own history by correcting a forgotten chapter of Lincoln's.Everybody's History traces the development of popular interest in Lincoln to uncover the story of an extensive network of nonprofessional historians who contested old authorities and advanced new interpretations. In so doing, the book invites all who are interested in the past to see history as both vital to public life and meaningful to everybody.

Reading, researching, and preserving history might be a dry subject for many; southwestern Indiana might raise the question, "where?" But Abraham Lincoln is a topic that does resonate among many and with the amount of literature sitting on shelves today, another Lincoln work ?Erekson' book, however, is a study of studies...the l920's project that brought a host of amateurs and professionals into the field of interviewing the surviving neighbors, relatives, and acquaintances of Abraham Lincoln while these primary sources were available and accessible; people who were pioneers in that part of Indiana where Lincoln said, "There I grew up." Controversies, egoes, competition all roiled in this interesting story of the evolution and progress of a particular endeavor to determine and preserve truth. Lincoln lovers will enjoy it; historians may chuckle and cringe, researchers will learn,and Erekson does make the point that history belongs to all of us.
