Serving as a great introductory biography to Abraham Lincoln, this beautifully illustrated biography follows his life from birth through the end of The Civil War. Focusing mostly on his early life, this tells of Lincoln’s humble beginnings and life in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois while emphasizing his commitment to learning and strong work ethic. As Lincoln enters his presidency, certain additional qualities, such as his commitment to justice, his integrity, and his compassion are depicted. Uniquely illustrated with stone lithographs, the pictures add depth to this retelling of the key events and personal experiences that formed Lincoln and his presidency.
