Here is the whole story of Abraham Lincoln, told briefly and simply, yet with warmth and understanding. The author's dramatic illustrations play an important part in giving a true feeling of the president and the man.

Foster's Initial Biographies, while written for young readers, have a remarkably wide age appeal.

Look for George Washington, An Initial Biography, The Year of Independence, 1776, and The Year of Lincoln, 1861, also from Genevieve Foster and Purple House Press.
