Abraham Lincoln: Good friend of the Individuals (833)

The lifetime of Abraham Lincoln, America's biggest president, in a brand new, illustrated version of the Newbery Honor traditional.

Clara Ingram Judson's Newbery Honor E book is a richly drawn biography of Abraham Lincoln from his backwoods boyhood, to his days as a shopkeeper and lawyer, his entry into politics, and at last via his extraordinary presidency and tragic assassination.

Judson presents Lincoln as he was–the plain-spoken and sensible man, usually ridiculed as a rustic bumpkin, who received the Civil Struggle, ended slavery, and saved the Union. Judson's narrative is enlivened by her visits to his house and vivid descriptions of the Lincoln household's pioneer life.
