About this book

The Life of Abraham Lincoln by Henry Ketcham is an 1899 popular biography written for the great audience that wanted Lincoln's story plainly told. Ketcham follows the course from the Kentucky cabin through the prairie law circuits, the debates with Douglas, the war presidency, and the assassination, drawing on the recollections then still flowing from men who had known Lincoln. Brisk, warm, and unfootnoted, it represents the Lincoln literature of the generation that remembered him. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
