...Truelove, her white Persian cat. The cat's name, the heart-and-holly symbol it wears as a pendant and white cats are scattered profusely throughout the text and pictures, even the margins. (Fifty-one heart-and-holly symbols appear on one bikini panty.)

This engaging anecdote is just one of the many historical delights in A New Birth of Freedom: Lincoln at Gettysburg by Philip B. Kunhardt Jr. (Little, Brown; 263 pages; $22.50). Kunhardt is a superb scene setter. He reminds the reader that Henry Ford was born in 1863, but the nation was still young enough to "remember the faces and handshakes of its founding fathers."
