before the war. The couple lived in
the state for two years.
The idea for the Lincoln book
began after Shapell heard Sarna
speak about his General Grant book.
"Benjamin Shapell talked to me
about his remarkable collection of
documents dealing with Abraham
Lincoln and the Jews, including
documents people had not seen,"
Sarna recalls.
"He believed there ought to be
a book for the anniversary of the
assassination, and I completely
agreed that this was an opportunity
to teach American Jews about a side
of the president that they did not
know:'
As the two worked together,
Sarna was given access to Shapell's
documents. Sarna also did his own
research with access to original
papers now placed online by archival
centers. After extensive conversa-
tions, Sarna developed the text, and
Shapell reviewed it.
"I was interested in documents
that actually mentioned Jews," Sarna
says. "I was astonished when I came

upon a political letter that showed
that in 1860 he had an interest in the
Jewish vote:'
Both men took interest in the
president's attendance at Jewish
theater productions that drama-
tized anti-Semitism. He saw Gamea
(The Jewish Mother) twice in the
same week and Leah, the Forsaken
less than a year later. Ironically, on
the last day of his life, Lincoln told
his wife, Mary, that he would like
to visit Jerusalem before he died.
Shapell was surprised by learn-
ing of Lincoln's interest in the Old
Testament and the comfort he found
in the Bible during momentous occa-
sions.
"Just as war was about to break
out, Lincoln, realizing that he was
surrounded by danger, wrote that he
was in `troublous times' — a phrase
from the Book of Daniel," Shapell
explains.
"His identification with the char-
acter of Daniel shows that while he is
acknowledging being essentially in the
Lion's Den, he is also confident that,
like Daniel, he will persevere:'
