A collection of the stories and yarns that made Lincoln so
well-known, as well as his anecdotes, this is a collection of
writing that is sure to leave you both wiser and with a better
understanding of one of the greatest Presidents of the United
States to ever live.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1901 Edition.
Abraham Lincoln, whose Emancipation Proclamation freed more than
four million slaves, was a keen politician, an accomplished
statesman, a shrewd diplomat, and a profoundly wise and funny
storyteller. In this collection of Lincoln's yarns and stories,
Alexander McClure, who knew Lincoln well, has compiled the witty
moral tales that made Lincoln famous before he ever became
president. This book is printed on archival-quality paper using a
new, "green" publishing method called print-on-demand, which
greatly reduces the time, cost, and waste of traditional
publishing. The book is produced and distributed after it is
ordered--one book at a time. That means there are no wasted
books--no "remainders" to be sold at a discount, no unsalable books
to be shredded, no wasted trees. This is a book you can feel good
about buying.

The Shelf2Life American Civil War Collection is a unique and
exciting collection of pre-1923 titles focusing on the American
Civil War and the people and events surrounding it. From memoirs
and biographies of notable military figures to firsthand accounts
of famous battles and in-depth discussions of slavery, this
collection is a remarkable opportunity for scholars and historians
to rediscover the experience and impact of the Civil War. The
volumes contained in the collection were all written within 60
years of the end of the war, which means that most authors had
living memory of it and were facing the effects of the war while
writing. These firsthand accounts allow the modern reader to more
fully understand the culture of both the Union and Confederacy, the
politics that governed the escalation and end of the war, the
personal experience of life during the Civil War, and the most
difficult and polarizing question in the history of the United
States: slavery. The American Civil War Collection allows new
readers access to the contemporary arguments and accounts
surrounding the war, and is a vital new tool in understanding this
important and pivotal chapter in American history.

Lincoln's Yarns and Stories is a Collection of the Funny and Witty
Anecdotes that made Abraham Lincoln Famous as America's Greatest
Story Teller. It includes Presidential Incidents, Stories Of The
War, Lincoln's Letters, and Speeches all chronologically arranged,
including a biographical sketch. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the Great Story
Telling President, whose Emancipation Proclamation freed more than
four million slaves, was a keen politician, profound statesman,
shrewd diplomatist, a thorough judge of men and possessed of an
intuitive knowledge of affairs. He was the first Chief Executive to
die at the hands of an assassin. Without school education he rose
to power by sheer merit and will-power. Born in a Kentucky log
cabin in 1809, his surroundings being squalid, his chances for
advancement were apparently hopeless. President Lincoln died April
15th, 1865, having been shot by J. Wilkes Booth the night before.
