Kentucky's Joseph C.S. Blackburn Soldier, Statesman and a Friend of All is the story of Joseph C.S. Blackburn, a young lawyer who was graced by Lincoln's help in Illinois, but who turned against Lincoln when he became a Confederate officer in the Civil War. He survived the war to continue his law practice in Arkansas and then Kentucky where he finally began his extensive political career. Fittingly, he concluded his life honoring President Lincoln.
