About the Book

Since his death in 1865, Abraham Lincoln has left a lasting impression on America. Not only did he succeed in preserving the Union, he ended slavery and created a national holiday. From humble beginnings on farms in Kentucky and Illinois, Lincoln rose through many jobs to become the President of the United States. His life-and his enduring legacy-is proof of the American Dream. Editorial Reviews Why is Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, still remembered as a hero so long after his death? That is the question the author tries to answer for elementary age students, which is no small task to undertake in a series biography with complex political questions to be answered and a troubled subject with an equally troubled wife. Using period photographs, factoids of information on the pages, and a narrative structure, the book teaches readers about Lincoln, his goals, reactions to events around him, and bits of information which serve to complete the picture of this well-regarded leader. There does not seem to be any new information here, but the information is presented in a way that young readers should, for the most part, find easy to read. Chapter titles will allow readers to skim if needed, and the publishers have seen fit to use numbers for the citations, which will make teachers and librarians happy as we strive to make students understand that they must cite their work. Glossary, index, short bibliography of titles, and web addresses are also included. The only thing that does not work particularly well is the design of the pages, which are made to look like old paper and often distort clarity of the typeface. Many readers would not be put off by that, but it seems distracting to be reading text over photographs and on pages where old script is enlarged to resemble documents from the time. Reviewer: Leslie Greaves Radloff
