If you have a U.S. penny in your pocket, you’re carrying the picture of one of the most famous and most loved Americans who ever lived: President Abraham Lincoln.
Abe Lincoln was President of the United States from 1861 until he was murdered in 1865.
What was it like for Lincoln to be his country’s leader during the Civil War, the bloodiest war that Americans have ever fought? What was it like to be in charge of a country whose own citizens were fighting against each other? More than 500,000 Americans would die fighting this war.
In this book you’ll hear Abe Lincoln tell the story of his own life, from the day he was born in a small log cabin, right up to the day he was shot by an assassin’s bullet.
