Lincoln's Sense of Humor
Richard Carwardine
Abraham Lincoln was the first president to make storytelling, jokes, and laughter tools of the office. Lincoln's Sense of Humor registers the variety, complexity, and ethical dimension of Lincoln's humor and pinpoints the political risks Lincoln ran in telling jokes while the nation was engaged in a bloody struggle for existence.
