Description: You are considering a hardcover book, with DJ, LINCOLN'S GREATEST CASE: THE RIVER, THE BRIDGE, AND THE MAKING OF AMERICA by Brian McGinty; PUBLISHER: Liveright Publishing Corporation, NYC, NY; 2015 printing; 259 pages. $26.95 price on DJ flap. As lawyer and Lincoln scholar Brian McGinty dramatically reveals in Lincoln's Greatest Case, no one was killed, but the question of who was at fault cried for an answer. Backed by powerful steamboat interests in St. Louis, the owners of the steamboat EFFIE AFTON quickly pressed suit, hoping that a victory would not only prevent the construction of any future bridges from crossing the Mississippi but also thwart the burgeoning spread of railroads from Chicago. The fate of the long-dreamed-of transcontinental railroad lurked ominously in the background, for it rails could not cross the Mississippi by bridge, how could they span the continent all the way to the Pacific.

Due to volume, however, I have a noon cut-off, so, if your payment is received after 12:00 noon, it will not be mailed until at least the next business day. Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations.
