The Story of Abraham Lincoln: Or the Journey From the Log Cabin to the White House

Excerpt from The Story of Abraham Lincoln: Or the Journey From the Log Cabin to the White HouseThe humble origin and lowly condition of the man is presented for the purpose of strengthening and developing correct ideas concerning the possibilities of the human race, no matter What the early environ ment or training may have been.I spent several weeks at the Lincoln homestead, personally inter viewing the relatives, friends, neighbors and associates of Mr. Lincoln and his father's family, while those further removed from the old home stead were otherwise communicated with, thus obtaining many incidents and anecdotes entirely overlooked by the ordinary historian. I have tried to make the home life of Uncle Abe, the children's friend, so intensely interesting that not a single family in the broad land will be without it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
