Book Description
Excerpt from In the Footsteps of the Lincolns I found it an inspiring thing to trace the roads these seven successive generations of Lincoln pioneers traveled, to look upon the remains of their homes, reconstruct from documents and legends their activities, judge what manner of men and women they were, the place they held among their fellows. In these wanderings the whole history of the United States seemed to unroll before me. In this Lincoln migration we have the family history of millions of our contemporaries. And this story of their vigorous, independent pioneering, their passion for self-help and self-rule, goes far to account for Abraham Lincoln. He was not an accident. These Lin colns were behind him, preparing for the miracle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Peeps at Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln has given us a perfect example of the self made man and the story of his life should prove very inspiring to all young people, for Abraham Lincoln was a real leader. It is the story of a life of hard beginnings, of constant and honest work and of success and achievement; a life dominated by one great love, which made him accept responsibilities and face sacrifices: the love of a man for his country. Those children who have had in their hands the Peeps at George Washington will find again the same type of illustrations and the simple text which will enable them to remember better the main events in the life of that great President who followed so successfully in the footsteps of his model and predecessor, George Washington, in preserving intact for future generations the great united nation which the Father of His Country had so nobly toiled to create.

Book Description
Tn the Footsteps of the Lincolns. By IDA. M. TARBELL. A story of the origin and family of Abraham Lincoln. While the problem of pedigree is not so important as Miss Tarbell insists, this book is a useful accompaniment to her great life of the martyred President. Few reflect that Samuel Lincoln, the great-great-great-great-grandfather of Lincoln, was only one of sixty-four ancestors of the same generation whose names are unknown to us, but whose blood he inherited. Our multiple ancestry makes the question of heredity a very confused question. But the book is interesting and valuable.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Unfathomable Lincoln And so, year after year, an ever increasing army of students and followers of Lincoln, seeking to know and understand the man, gaze with awe and wonder at the perfect gem of sculpture that a grateful nation has erected in its capital, where for five long, eventful, and heartbreaking years, he watched his country engage in suicidal war. They journey to his birthplace in Kentucky; and they climb the little hill in south ern Indiana where rests the tired body of Nancy Hanks, and where she looks wistfully on fields and hills that once heard the laughter and song of her Hoosier boy. Not satisfied, they' walk through the little country graveyard in Coles County and gaze on the graves of Tom Lincoln, and that other great heart, Sally Bush, who was all of a mother to him. In Vandalia, they wander through the halls of the old capitol, hopefully listening for the sound of his voice; while in his old home at Eighth and Jackson Streets, in Springfield, they wait in vain for the music of his footsteps. From here they go to its ceme tery, and wander aimlessly over the green grass near the spot where now he rests, not wondering that he sleeps after a life so full of action. They climb the steep hill in the cemetery at Petersburg and read the immortal words on the stone over the grave of Ann Rutledge. In search of more to satisfy the cravings of their spirits for intimacy with the soul of Lincoln, they journey around the towns that once composed the Eighth Illinois Judicial Circuit, so rich in memories of him. But none of these suffice. Finally and lastly, they must go to] New Salem, to its reconstructed stores and cabins; and walk ing down its single thoroughfare they find in the peace and quiet of this little spot something of spiritual perception of Abraham Lincoln.
