This book is a complete textual, and illustrated biography of Abraham Lincoln, consisting of 307 pages and 60+ images.
While the title implies that it is written for boys, it is obivously written for young people, in general.
This is a classic story of Abraham Lincoln’s life. From his meager birth in a tiny cabin, to his legendary strength, honesty, character, and humor. It's the story of the 'rail Splitter', who worked hard to earn money and help his family, and spent his evenings studying and reading by the light of a fireplace to better himself.
The story of Abraham Lincoln is the story of America; the story that anyone can attain greatness, and make a difference, if they have the desire, and Abraham Lincoln had the desire.
The moral messages are inescapable, and easily absorbed by young readers. Honesty counts. Character counts. Morals count. And hard work is a virtue
