Henry Llewellyn Williams gathers the stories told by and about Abraham Lincoln: boyhood rhymes, hog-driving and log-rolling tales, stump-speech put-downs, his first dollar, and the quips he used to disarm his Cabinet and his generals. A Lincoln calendar opens the book, and the anecdotes run in rough order through his life.
A book for dipping into, and a reminder of how much Lincoln’s humour served his politics. Download the free EPUB.
