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.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Real Lincoln The Genius of History will surely vindicate her right to truth, though a whole people conspire against her. So the man behind the mask, whether it be placed there by himself or others, must at length come forth in his own true character. We have seen, as has been well said, the Lincoln legend in actual process of evolution, and cannot again be surprised at the historical myths that have come down to us from more uncritical ages. But legend and myth must give way before conscientious investigation, an investigation which brings out suppressed facts and points an unerring finger at fallacies and fabrications.

Book Description
Excerpt from The World's Lincoln But even where the witnesses have been diligent, more than much remains in obscurity. Boswell on Johnson and Pepys on himself tell us a great deal that is significant, but their copious not'es leave untold more than they tell. It must inevitably be so. The full story of a man's life would take as long to read as to live, and twenty times as long to write. The amplest compilation of facts, say Lockhart on Scott or Moore on Byron, amounts at last to a slight and more or less fortuitous selection. Far from being regrettable, this is fortunate; but it is a fact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: A Short Study of a Great Man and His Work As a politician Abraham Lincoln was in breadth and sincerity the superior, and in shrewdness and success the full equal, of Thomas Jefferson; yet he was much more than a politician. No man of his age wrote better English than he; yet it is not as a rhetorician that Americans revere him. His keenness of humor and aptness of anecdote were never surpassed by any public man; yet history sternly refuses to regard Abraham Lincoln as a jester. He was a patriot high and true; but in his day many others were also patriots, giving even life to the cause. He was a statesman of prodigious breadth and grasp, fearless, incorruptible, self-reliant, and, when he judged principle to be at stake, absolutely immovable; yet even the high term statesman does not express quite the full measure of Lincoln or of Lincoln's fame. To all these elements he united a personality the most striking, the most singular and the most original which is met with in history, and beneath it all lay the unfathomable mystery of a human soul. In the depths of that rugged and pathetic face were the signs of a spirit that in its highest moments communed with itself and walked alone. In the language of Wordsworth, His soul was like a star, and dwelt apart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Oft-Told Tales of Lincoln More than three thousand volumes have been written about the life and work of Abraham Lincoln. He has taken, in our modern world, the place of the heroes of ancient epics and legends: he is our Beowulf, our Charlemagne, our King Arthur; in a word, he is our national hero. So much has been written that the folly of attempting a new, or even an original interpretation of the old, is evident. We make no such pretense, but instead gratefully acknowledge indebtedness to many sources from which we have taken those authentic episodes in the childhood and youth of Abra ham Lincoln, which foreshadowed his con duct during the dark days of the Civil War. We have tried to trace, in the boy Lincoln, those latent characteristics whio h whendeveloped gave us the greatest leader and man our country has known.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln Mr. Lincoln at once began to clear the timber from his land. This was a very dangerous task because of the Indians. About two years went by when one day as Mr. Lincoln was in his clearing with little Tom, only six years old, an Indian crept up behind some brush and killed the father. He then leaped out and seized the little boy and started off with him. Two of the older Lincoln boys were working near and hur ried to the rescue. One of them shot the In dian and saved his little brother. The death of the father was a very serious matter to a poor family left in a new country. Little Tom seems to have had to shift for him self and get his living as best he could. And only a living it was, for schooling he had none. All the writing he could do was to barely scrawl his name, but although he was ignorant and poor, he was honest and very well thought of by his neighbors.
