      abstract = {In 1858, Abraham Lincoln was known as a successful  Illinois lawyer.  Two years later, he was elected  president.  What carried this one-term congressman from  obscurity to fame was the campaign he mounted for the  United States Senate against the country's most formidable  politician, Stephen A. Douglas, in the summer and fall of  1858.  As this brilliant narrative by the prize-winning  Lincoln scholar Allen Guelzo dramatizes, Lincoln would  emerge a predominant national figure, the leader of his  party, the man who would bear the burden of the national  confrontation.
