Joseph Holt, the stern, brilliant, and deeply committed Unionist from Kentucky, spent the first several months of the American Civil War successfully laboring to maintain Kentucky's loyalty to the Union and then went on to serve as President Lincoln's judge advocate general. In Lincoln's Forgotten Ally, Elizabeth D. Leonard offers the first full-scale biography of Holt, who has long been overlooked and misunderstood by historians and students of the war.

Elizabeth D. Leonard is the John J. and Cornelia V. Gibson Professor of History at Colby College, USA. She is the author of several books, including Lincoln's Avengers: Justice, Revenge, and Reunion after the Civil War.
