Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Lincoln Read The writer has been from youth to age a diligent and reverent student of any printed or written word throw ing light on the processes of slow yet steady growth through which Abraham Lincoln in his last years reached full mental and spiritual stature, and became the supreme American of his period. These processes are reflected in the present work which deals with what Lincoln read and pondered in a youth of few books and little schooling, and in his after years as lawyer and politician turned statesman. The record here set down cannot claim to be an exhaustive one, but it is as complete and accurate as long and careful searching of the sources now available to the student can make it.

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. But he was sober and honest. His friends liked him for his good humor and for the good stories he told. He was tall and stalwart and successful in the ath lctic contests of those days. He learned the trade of a carpenter, and married the pretty niece of the man in whose shop he worked. Her name was Nancy Hanks. She, too, was an orphan and had had a hard life.

Download or read book The Life and Writings of Abraham Lincoln written by Abraham Lincoln and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 988 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln, the greatest of all American presidents, left us a vast legacy of writings, some of which are among the most famous in our history. Lincoln was a marvelous writer—from the humblest letter to his great speeches, including his inaugural addresses, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the Gettysburg Address. His sentences were so memorably crafted that many resonate across the years. "Fourscore and seven years ago," begins the Gettysburg Address, "our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." In 1940, the prolific author and historian Philip Van Doren Stern produced this volume as a guide to Lincoln's life through his writings. Stern's "Life of Abraham Lincoln" is a full biography of the man and includes a detailed chronology. Stern has collected all the essential texts of Lincoln's public life, from his first public address—a stump speech in New Salem, Illinois, in 1832 for an election he went on to lose—to his last piece of public writing, a pass to a congressman who was to visit the president the day after Lincoln went to Ford's Theater on April 14, 1865. Some 275 such documents are collected and placed in their historical context. Together with the "Life" and the Introduction, "Lincoln in His Writings," by noted historian Allan Nevins, they give a full and vivid picture of Abraham Lincoln.
