  • The Every-day Life of Abraham Lincoln

    Francis Fisher Browne

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, May 26, 2014)
    Francis Fisher Browne was an American editor and critic. Browne’s most famous work was a detailed biography on Abraham Lincoln called The Every-day Life of Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) is one of the most famous Americans in history and one of the country’s most revered presidents. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the “Westerner” who educated himself and became a self made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln successfully navigated the Union through the Civil War but didn’t live to witness his crowning achievement, becoming the first president assassinated when he was shot at Ford’s Theater by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. In the generation after the Civil War, Lincoln became an American deity and one of the most written about men in history. With such a sterling reputation, even historians hesitate to write a critical word; in Team of Rivals Doris Kearns Goodwin casts Lincoln as an almost superhuman puppet master in control of his Cabinet’s political machinations and the war’s direction, juggling the balancing act flawlessly. As a result, Lincoln the man is far less known than Lincoln the myth.

    Francis F. Browne

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Dec. 2, 2017)
    Excerpt from Golden Poems by British and American AuthorsHat this collection of English poetry has held its own for twenty-five years seems a sufficient reason for offer ing it to the public in a revised and enlarged edition. In the earlier preface it was stated that the search for material had been brought down as nearly as possible to the present. That present is now a quarter-century past; and while this interval has not been marked by the appearance of any great names in English poetry, much that is of interest has been given to the world both from poets already famous and from those who were unknown when the collection was originally made. The present edition, therefore, not only sustains the intention of the earlier one in bringing the material down to date, but includes matter that cannot fail to give increased richness and variety to the collection.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
