HASTINGS HOUSE Publishers New York 22
The story of Abraham Lincoln is ever fresh. It appeals to the imagination and grips the vision of many people in various ways.

“Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed by my fellow men, rendering myself worthy of their esteem. How far I shall succeed in gratifying this ambition, is yet to be developed.” —Address to Sangamon County, March 9, 1832.
