Summary

From the inspiring yet straightforward words of Abraham Lincoln, the story of a man who went to school for no more than one year, lost two elections, and then went to lead our nation through the hardest of times, is told. Through speeches, writings, and memoirs, Lincoln offers readers a personal history lesson of his life.
