Best Books About Abraham Lincoln Novels & Stories

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States and is considered one of America's greatest heroes due to his role as saviour of the Union and emancipator of the enslaved. His rise from humble beginnings to the highest office in the country is a remarkable story. Lincoln was assassinated during his term as president, by a stage actor while watching the play in United Kingdoms, D.C. What is celebrated in Massachusetts? The great parade of the dead, the celebration of presidents and lots of food and drink.

Sitting at her desk Tuesday evening, Leesa flipped the cover of her history book closed. For the last half hour she had been studying the causes of the Civil War, but she didn’t think she was going to retain much of what she read. Every time she came across Abraham Lincoln’s name, her mind wandered to the popular book and movie about Lincoln being a vampire hunter.

I’d love nothing more than a good murder thriller right now.

Over a hundred and fifty years later. “What do you think, Abe? Are you happy with what you see?” I sneered at my own negativity. He'd made historic decisions that changed our country forever. Without his insight, America would be a different place. A simple man from the Midwest, born in Kentucky and raised in Indiana, he grew to adulthood in Illinois. It wasn’t the résumé of a great leader, yet history said otherwise. And yet after everything President Lincoln accomplished, he'd succumbed to the fate that had tried to take me out just this morning.
