This book shows how, when, where, and why Lincoln created his invention and demonstrates how his penchant for inventions and discoveries informed his political belief in internal improvements and free-labor principles.

Although he was Abraham and Mary Lincoln's oldest and last surviving son, the details of Robert T. Lincoln's life are misunderstood by some and unknown to many others. Nearly half a century after the last biography about Abraham Lincoln's son was published, historian and author Jason Emerson illuminates the life of this remarkable man and his achievements in Giant in the Shadows: The Life of Robert T. Lincoln.
