Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Own Stories For many years the editor has collected and studied the literature relating to Abraham Lincoln, and his interest has led to the preparation of a book which he has endeavored to make both authentic and significant. His purpose has been to select stories which embody truth and point, and to arrange them, as far as possible, consecutively, so that they may furnish continuous illustrations of the various stages of Lincoln's wonderful career. Various dubious and often maudlin tales which have been attributed to Lincoln have been omitted. While it would be impossible to claim that any collection is absolutely comprehensive, yet it is believed that the best and the essential Lincoln stories are assembled here in a manner which will serve as an outline biography in story form. In connection with this plan the bare facts of Lincoln's life may be restated helpfully. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of Lincoln Nearly three hundred years ago a Dutch ship sailed up the river to Jamestown bearing a strange cargo. The cargo was twenty negroes, and the were sold as slaves to the colonists. This was the way in which negro slavery began in this country. The buying and selling of men and making them serve their masters without pay went on for many years. As the United States grew larger this traffic in men grew until at last people began to be afraid slavery would spread over all the country. At first only a few people thought slavery was wrong. These talked and wrote about it until more and more people joined them in this belief. The quarrel grew and grew and waged fiercely between the people who believed in slavery and those who did not. Then at last this country was plunged into a cruel war. The Northern people who wished to put an end to slavery fought against the Southern people who owned the slaves. This war lasted several years. Many brave men died and many precious lives were lost that the negro might be free. The man who did more than any other to free the slaves and keep this country as one nation was Abraham Lincoln.

As soon as Thomas was old enough to work, he drifted about wherever he could find a job. He grew up to be a wandering laboring boy, without any education and with very little ambition.

Boswell on Johnson and Pepys on himself tell us a great deal that is significant, but their copious notes 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.

As mountains seem less glorious, viewed too nigh, So often do the great whom we decry Gigantic loom to our astonished gaze, When they are dead.
