Bookroo's summary
Abraham Lincoln, a self-taught lawyer from the frontier, never aimed for the presidency. Yet, as the nation teetered on the brink of division over slavery, his sharp mind and passion for justice thrust him into the heart of America's most critical debate. How will this unlikely leader navigate the turbulent waters of a divided nation? Discover the remarkable journey of a man who shaped history against all odds.
From the publisher
Heroes of History is a unique biography series that brings the shaping of history to life with the remarkable true stories of fascinating men and women who changed the course of history. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) had never set his sights on becoming president; after all, he’d grown up in a log cabin on the frontier and had hardly any formal schooling. But as the question of slavery threatened to destroy the United States, this self-taught lawyer with a sharp mind and passion for justice found himself at the center of the greatest debate the nation had ever faced. Ages 10 and up.
