The life of Abraham Lincoln: drawn from the… by Ida Minerva Tarbell
Vol II . $30. Very fine condition.
$50. 1901 - Condition: Good Plus - Book is tight, but corners and spine are faded. Red cloth beautiful illustrations from the best french collections.
This is an awesome resource for those interested in Lincoln and (obviously) his ancestors. As a descendant of the First Abraham Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln the President's grandfather), this book was an invaluable resource to help verify specific aspects of individuals down the line (where they were and when, what their stories were, and so forth).
A great example of muckracking journalism. It helped bring in the age consumer protection and a break-up of anti-competative corporations. Just as relevant today as it was 100 years ago.
