The Life of Abraham Lincoln, from His Birth to His Inauguration as President

As one can surmise from the title, this book is a biography of Abraham Lincoln. He was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln led the Union through the American Civil War to defend the nation as a constitutional union and succeeded in abolishing slavery, bolstering the federal government, and modernizing the U.S. economy.
