Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln
It will hardly be questioned that in every great national crisis there arise those who embody, to a certain extent, the forces working in the lives of the people. This is a truism hardly illustration. In the lives of Mirabeau and ere were embodied some of the found expression in that vast national upheaval the French Revolution. In the lives of Cavour, Mazzini, and Garibaldi we have presented to us the dramatic story of Italian unification. And in the life of Abraham Lincoln there will pass before us the most tragic chapter in America's history.
