This Is A New Release Of The Original 1900 Edition.
In his introduction to The Life of Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ketcham
notes that there has been so much written about Lincoln that the
legend has begun to obscure, if not to efface, the man. In this
biography the single purpose has been to present the living man
with such distinctness of outline that the reader may have a sort
of feeling of being acquainted with him. Ketcham s clearly-written,
unadorned account of Lincoln s life achieves its stated purpose,
never removing its focus from the man who became the 16th President
of the United States and led the nation through some of its most
turbulent and difficult times.

The question will naturally be raised, Why should there be another
Life of Lincoln? This may be met by a counter question, Will there
ever be a time in the near future when there will not be another
Life of Lincoln? There is always a new class of students and a new
enrolment of citizens. Every year many thousands of young people
pass from the Grammar to the High School grade of our public
schools. Other thousands are growing up into manhood and womanhood.
These are of a different constituency from their fathers and
grandfathers who remember the civil war and were perhaps in it.
Whatever the mental cause of this melancholy, there is no doubt
that it had also a physical cause. This was his most violent
attack, but by no means his only one. It recurred, with greater or
less severity, all through his life. He had been born and had grown
up in a climate noted for its malaria. Excepting for the facts that
he spent much time in the open air, had abundant exercise, and ate
plain food, the laws of sanitation were not thought of. It would be
strange if his system were not full of malaria, or, what is only
slightly less abominable, of the medicines used to counteract it.
Abraham Lincoln remains one of the greatest political figures in
American history. Although his portrait and achievements as a
statesman are well recorded, little is known about his personal
life. This light and enjoyable biography, published at the
beginning of the 20th century, fills this gap by portraying a more
human and accessible Lincoln.
