Written for new generations of students and citizens, this biography follows Lincoln from the frontier West and his family’s roots through boyhood in Indiana, flatboat trips to New Orleans and odd jobs in Illinois. It continues through law and politics to his arrival in a hostile Washington in February 1861 and the burdens of the war years.
A straightforward, well-organised life from 1901 for readers who want Lincoln’s story in one volume. Download the free EPUB.
