Seller's Description:
Illustrated by Clotilde Embree. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Text is clean. Orange binding shows normal wear. Dust jacket shows light wear with minor chipping at spine ends.; [Bloom, Who Should We Then Read? , pp, 222-223, 271-281] [Ward & Marquardt, Authors of Books for Young People, 2nd ed, pg. 489][Hotchkiss, American Historical Fiction and Biography for Children and Young People, (Presidents-Abraham Lincoln), 1288]; Childhood of Famous Americans; B&W Illustrations; 186 pages.
Most of the books in the series that includes this book were written for children about famous people as children. I read and reread this book as a child and it made an impression on me about how rich in knowledge Abraham Lincoln actually was. With almost no schooling Lincoln educated himself with books. This book also show just how poor Lincoln was as a child but how rich he was in having loving parents and how much he truly missed his biological mother when she died of the milk sickness which in those days was known as "the slows" a term he later used as President to describe his General McClellan. This showed how informed Lincoln was as a boy and as a man. I recommend it to any child .
