insights, details, and fresh evidence on the great president&#8217;s life and career. \u00a0Yet that important new study contains\u00a0over 2,000 pages of text, with another couple of thousands of pages left out of the printed volumes but now available online in PDFs from the Lincoln Studies Center at Knox College. \u00a0In 2010, the House Divided Project at Dickinson College worked with Burlingame and his publisher (Johns Hopkins University Press) to create a series of interactive excerpts from his work. \u00a0These excerpts focus on Lincoln and the 1860 election and\u00a0feature short video documentaries with online essays that allow students easy access to the scholar&#8217;s sources. \u00a0Please view the clips below (produced by Dickinson student Don Sailer and Professor John Osborne) and check out the essays at <i>Journal Divided. \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/journal\/2010\/08\/19\/that-presidential-grub\/\"
