Description

Abraham Lincoln, America’s 16th President, was perhaps America’s Greatest President. But was the "Great Rail-Splitter" also a genuine side-splitter? Were his rustic tales a clever device for disarming opponentswith a smile - or the ramblings of a madman? This new edition of a historic classic answers those questions and more!

110 YEARS IN THE MAKING, 340 PAGES IN THE READING.
Originally published in 1901, "Yarns & Stories of Abraham Lincoln" contains the stories Lincoln told, and the stories told about him. You will find out why it was that among Lincoln's friends and colleagues, the most dreaded he could utter  were "That reminds me of a story..."
