Overview

After being ousted from Germany in 1833 for his radical ideas, Gustav Koerner moved to Illinois to work as a lawyer. Koerner later became an Illinois Supreme Court judge and lieutenant governor. He and a young Abraham Lincoln had much in common, and they began a lifelong correspondence. Their friendship was instrumental in shaping Lincoln's early opinions and political goals. Through their letters comes a clear picture of this influential man and a fresh look at a well-known president.
