This introduction to Lincoln, from his childhood to adulthood, stresses the man's self-education, hard work, and focus on preserving the union. The busy pages include text boxes and reproductions of archival photos and other material. "Lincoln Links to Today" segments (e.g., Emancipation Proclamation linked to "I Have a Dream") and quotes from primary sources provide context. Reading list, websites.
