Publisher's summary

One of the best books ever written about Lincoln by Dale Carnegie. Chronicles the inner life and struggles of Abraham Lincoln, how he led a life of poverty, how he went from pauper to become president, how he emerged from obscurity and became the Republican nominee at the 1860 Chicago convention, how he loved to tell humorous stories, and that he was an avid reader of Shakespeare.

You will love this book whether you are already well-versed in Lincoln history and sayings or simply know his as the president who emancipated Blacks from slavery.

Abe Lincoln I wish you were here

Great book. Many truths not taught in school are in this book. Robert E Lee was against slavery and never owned a slave and Ulysses S Grant was a rags-to-riches story whose wife owned slaves. We get brainwashed in America by the left narratives, slavery was a worldwide issue but Abe Lincoln and the Republicans led us out of it.

stories they don't tell you in school...

Amazing stories and back stories about the life of Lincoln and those around him. It shows Abraham Lincoln as a man not just a perfect historical figure. I have recommended it to all of my family and friends:)

I highly recommend this book

I highly recommend this book and recording. The book is from 1934. It spends a lot of space describing the faults of Mrs. Lincoln. Yet, it is a good book. The reader is one of my favorites.

Lincoln

Both the book and the narration were absolutely superlative. I felt as though a time travelled and got lost completely in the story and narrative.

Very good reading of prominent Lincoln book

Read this book in my early teens and was blown away by it. Was fortunate to discover, decades later, this audiobook, which I believe gives its author (Mr. Carnegie) and subject matter (Mr. Lincoln), much justice. Will recommend however to accompany it's reading with other, newer books on Lincoln, as new information and perspectives have emerged since. Thank you!

Lincoln & the company he kept

This book is a fascinating tale of Lincoln's and the various characters who influenced him. It is a more complicated view of his character, and I found it instructive.

Lincoln Up close

Good book on the challenges Lincoln overcame and how he seemed destined for greatness. Close up stories of Ms Lincoln, Booth and the Civil War characters.
