Abe Lincoln gets his chance

(Scholastic Book Services, Aug. 16, 1969)
In writing this Abraham Lincoln biography, the author depended primarily on Lincoln's own statements and on the statements of his family and friends who had firsthand knowledge of his everyday life. In instances when dialogue had to be imagined, the conversation might logically have taken place in the light of known circumstances. Such descriptive details as were necessarily added were based on authentic accounts of pioneer times.
