Abraham Lincoln "Honest Abe": The Life and Times of the Man Who Led America Through its Greatest Moral, Political, and Constitutional Crisis (Paperback)

Abraham Lincoln "Honest Abe" "Honest Abe" was written to act as your easy-to-read reference point that contains from cover to cover everything you need to know about the life and times of Abraham Lincoln. "Honest Abe" isn't just a book of reference, though. Throughout the book, I have sought to paint the picture of the scenes I describe, so that this is more than an academic treatise that collects dust on your desk. This book is meant to be more of a movie, a movie that plays out in your head as you read its vivid details, so that you can feel that you were there as it was happening. This is certainly a small booklet, but it is densely packed with information that so many historians tend to overlook. Lincoln's story is a gripping tale, from beginning to end. Given the massive nature of his accomplishments and the nearly six decades he lived, you might wonder how these thirty-five thousand words can adequately cover so much ground. This booklet can and will give you an excellent grasp of the man - as a son, as a younger brother, as a father, as a thinker, as a politician, and of course as our sixteenth president.
