Just who was Abraham Lincoln? How did he become one of the most
admired persons who ever lived? What daily experiences lead him on
the path to the Presidency of the United States of America at the
most difficult time of its existence? Why is he the man visitors
come streaming to discover in the heartland of central Illinois?
This work of Historical Fiction answers the question of what
Lincoln's daily life was like. By selecting 3 very different years
and researching them on a day-to-day, month-by-month basis, the
picture of our 16th President becomes clearer. What Did Lincoln Do
in 1832? is told through the eyes of Peggy Rutledge, one of Anne's
younger sisters, and details the daily life in the remote log cabin
village of New Salem, Illinois. What Did Lincoln Do in 1842? is
told through the eyes of Jed, a twelve-year-old boy whom Lincoln
befriends in the booming town of Springfield, Illinois. What Did
Lincoln Do in 1862? is told in a stream-of-consciousness style by
Tad Lincoln, Abraham's youngest son. It details the year in the
White House in which Willie dies and Lincoln writes the
Emancipation Proclamation. This work of Historical Fiction is
grounded in research and footnoted for those whose spark is lit to
do further study on this unique American who strode from obscurity
to center stage not so long ago.
