Which context clue would help you best determine the meaning of the word inexWaustible? Lincoln the Great

by Wilfred W. McClay (adapted excerpt)

The American Civil War and the enigmatic' man whose election in 1860 precipitated it hold an inexhaustible interest

half, covering every conceivable topic and vantage point, from arcana of military operations to probing, and

occasionally preposterous, efforts to explore Lincoln's psyche. Nor does this flow seem to be diminishing. We are

about to launch into a grand national celebration of the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth that may eclipse all such

previous commemorations.
