Frank Keating takes you on an ultimate tour of Abraham Lincoln's life
from boyhood to presidency in this biography, which includes stunning
paintings by award-winning artist Mike Wimmer that bring the sixteenth
President of the United States to vivid life.
To say Abraham Lincoln came from humble beginnings is an understatement.
He was born in a Kentucky log cabin with a packed-dirt floor, rough slab
roof, and leather-hinged door. He went barefoot for most of the year and
wasn't expected to amount to much. But reading was everything to him and
his free time was consumed by books. Abraham Lincoln read furiously,
studied law, and knew that hard work was his only path to making a
change in the world. When he ran for the presidency, he stood for
unity--one people and one land. He brought freedom to all citizens,
ended slavery, and made the country whole again.
This visual tour de force is based on historical documents and
chronicles Honest Abe's life from boyhood to his extraordinary
leadership position as the sixteenth President of the United States of
America.
