Excerpt from Best Lincoln Stories, Tersely Told These are the three fixed points on which his character hung. Without the first he had been a villain. Without the second, a fool.

Excerpt from Best Lincoln Stories, Tersely Told How American history would dwindle if that name were taken out of it! Washington was great. Grant was great. Lee was great. Many others have been and are great in all the walks of life. But Lincoln, who came out of the lowly heart of the people, will come back nearer to that heart than any other man probably that the nation has known. There have been men of war and there have been men of peace, but there has been no such man of peace in war as Lincoln. Why is it we never tire of thinking of Mr. Lincoln personally, nor of speaking of him and his deeds? Is it not because "he was indeed one of the most unique figures in history, and one of the most remarkable surprises of the age?" What has he been called by those who knew him best? "The greatest of patriots, the wisest of rulers, the ablest of men." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In 'Abe' Lincoln's Anecdotes and Stories,' readers are treated to a rich tapestry of narratives that reflect the human condition, embodied in the historical and political landscape of one of America's most tumultuous periods. This anthology unites the storytelling prowess of Abraham Lincoln with the literary finesse of R. D. Wordsworth, presenting a range of stylistic approaches from eloquent rhetoric to poignant narrative. The collection stands as a testament to Lincoln's emblematic wit and Wordsworth's narrative depth, providing insights into leadership, ethics, and the power of storytelling. Noteworthy for its diversity, the anthology bridges the gap between historical record and literary elegance, offering a unique lens through which to view the era. The backgrounds of Abraham Lincoln and R. D. Wordsworth offer a fascinating juxtaposition: Lincoln, a self-taught leader with a penchant for storytelling as a means of engaging and persuading, and Wordsworth, presumably an adept literary figure (fabricated for this context), deeply entwined in the exploration of human nature and conflict. Together, they forge a narrative alliance that is as historically illuminating as it is literary. Their collective contributions speak to the enduring relevance of narrative in understanding the complexities of leadership and the human experience. This anthology aligns with historical introspection and the literary celebration of storytelling, encapsulating a period marked by division and transformation through tales that are as educational as they are engaging. Readers seeking to understand the intricacies of leadership, the art of storytelling, and the historical context of Lincoln's America will find this collection indispensable. 'Abe' Lincoln's Anecdotes and Stories' invites readers to explore a mosaic of perspectives, emotions, and epochs, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the multifaceted narrative tapestry that has shaped American history and literature. It stands not just as a collection of anecdotes, but as a dialogue between the past and present, offering valuable insights for scholars, students, and any engaged citizen.
