Into The Twilight - The True Origins of Abe Lincoln (Paperback)

INTO THE TWILIGHT is based on a story mostly ignored and/or suppressed by generations of biographers of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. The story of Lincoln having been born in Rutherford County, North Carolina, the illegitimate son of a wealthy, educated, and respected farmer and magistrate, has stayed alive for over two hundred years because it was an undeniable part of the history of that place. The residents of the area never sought to have their county designated as Lincoln's birthplace. After all, he was not a very popular figure in the south at the time he was assassinated. There are volumes of testimonials on the subject from respected judges, teachers, ministers, attorneys, and everyday citizens going all the way back to the time when Lincoln first ran for public office. INTO THE TWILIGHT is not an attempt on the author's part to prove the story's validity. Her fascination with the legend resulted in a novel, basically how she imagined the situation to have occurred from the time Abraham Enloe left his home in Charleston, South Carolina to the time Nancy Hanks Lincoln died in 1818, leaving behind her son, Abraham, purported to be only nine years old. Enloe had battled the elements and wild animals to establish a home in the wilderness, and had fought at the Battle of King's Mountain. However, although he was married and had several children, nothing had prepared him for the overwhelming passion he came to feel for young Nancy Hanks who had entered his home as a bondservant eight years before at the age of ten. Enloe, his wife Sarah, their daughter Nancy, Lucy and Nancy Hanks, Felix Walker, and many other characters were real people. President Abraham Lincoln makes only a brief appearance at the beginning of the novel.Show more
