Book excerpt: William Henry Herndon and Jesse Weik's Abraham Lincoln the True Story of a Great Life, published in 1892, is a voluminous biography of one of the greatest statesmen in American history. This could be regarded as an authoritative resource due to the main fact that Mr. Herndon himself was a good friend and law partner of the former President of the United States. The co-author knew him even before he married or was elected to Congress. He also had the privilege of being invited by former President Lincoln to join him in a new legal partnership and of being described as by the latter as "my man always above all other men on the globe." Despite Mr. Herndon's close association with the American leader who abolished slavery, he still did his share of research, gathering accounts relating to President Lincoln's life in order to present an accurate picture of him as a real man rather than a saint, which is what the official biographers did. Mr. Weik assisted in rewriting and doing supplementary research work in order to update the work that his co-biographer has already accomplished. He also provided financial support and rewrote most of the initial draft. What we have now is a very detailed portrait of the assassinated President, covering two volumes. This edition is the first part, covering the subject's birth up to his first appearance at the Illinois Supreme Court. Despite Mr. Herndon's close association to President Lincoln, there are some portions in this book that would require more prudence, as they have been refuted by the subject's own son. Nevertheless, admirers of the former leader, as well as historians, can glean interesting insights from this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2 of 2: The True Story of a Great Life As he entered the trial, relates one of his col leagues at the bar, * where most lawyers would ob ject he would say he reckoned it would be fair to let this in, or that; and sometimes, when his adver sary could not quite prove what Lincoln knew to be the'truth, he 'reckoned it would be fair to admit the truth to be so-and-so. When he did object to the court, and when he heard his objections an swered, he would often say, Well, I reckon I must be wrong.' Now, about the time he had practised this three-fourths through the case, if his adversary didn't understand him, he would wake up in a few minutes learning that he had feared the Greeks too late, and find himself beaten. He was wise as a serpent in the trial of a cause, but I have had too many scares from his blows to certify that he was harmless as a dove. When the whole thing was unravelled, the adversary would begin to see that what he was so blandly giving away was simply what he couldn't get and keep. By giving away six points and carrying the seventh he carried his case, and the whole case hanging on the seventh, he traded away everything which would give him the least aid in carrying that. Any man who took Lincoln for a simple-minded man would very soon wake up with his back in a ditch. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Herndon's Lincoln, Vol. 1: The True Story of a Great Life; The History and Personal Recollections of Abraham Lincoln Some persons will doubtless object to the narra tion of certain facts which appear here for the first time, and which they contend should have been consigned to the tomb. Their pretense is that no good can come from such ghastly exposures. To such over-sensitive souls, if any such exist, my answer is that these facts are indispensable to a full knowledge of Mr. Lincoln in all the walks of life. In order properly to comprehend him and the stir ring, bloody times in which he lived, and in which he played such an important part, we must have all the facts - we must be prepared to take him as he was.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: A True Life It must not be thought that when our nation began its life it was rich and great as it now is. It was small and weak. Its possessions did not reach from ocean to ocean, as they do now, but only from the Atlantic coast to the Mississippi River. There were but thirteen states, and they were thinly settled. Nearly all the people lived in that part of the country which is east of the Alleghany Mountains, and the different sections had but little to do with one another. The largest and richest of the states was Virginia, which claimed the land westward as far as to the Mississippi.
