Summary

Most typical people will look up to presidents of our country like they are above us, on a pedestal. Maybe not so much today as they did in Lincoln’s time, but today we have so much media to broadcast their sins and shortcomings at a minute's notice, so we are ready to burn them at stake for the very sins and weaknesses many of us are committing ourselves. Was Abraham Lincoln the same when he met the people he served? Did he feel that he was above anyone? In this audiobook, you will be able to find out about his lowly beginnings, about his family, how they had to move so often when he was but a lad, how badly he wanted to attend school, and how he finally met and married Mary Todd. You will find out about them having four children and what the future held for each of them.

You’ll hear about:

  • Abraham Lincoln’s early days
  • The Lincolns' move to Illinois
  • The Lincoln boys
  • The madness of Mary Lincoln
  • Questionable rumors about Lincoln
  • On the road to the presidency
  • Wartime politics
  • Lincoln’s final hours
  • And much more!

You will also find out how Mary Todd Lincoln’s insanity affected her, their children, and President Lincoln. You will learn about his climb in political life to president. And you will discover that it was then as it is now - some of the people loved him, and some of them hated him. You will find out about some of the rumors and gossip attached to Mary and Abraham Lincoln. I will leave it to you in making up your mind as to what you believe. Please enjoy what this audiobook holds for you.

Do not doubt and listen to this biography now!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
