Book excerpt: This edition includes an extensive and hard to find Lincoln biography by Professor John Frost, L.L.D. It contains all seven original volumesd with all of Lincolm's works from 1832 through 1865. "I have endured," wrote Lincoln not long before his death, "a great deal of ridicule without much malice, and have received a great deal of kindness not quite free from ridicule." On Easter Day, 1865, the world knew how little this ridicule, how much this kindness, had really signified. Thereafter, Lincoln the man became Lincoln the hero, year by year more heroic, until to-day, with the swift passing of those who knew him, his figure grows ever dimmer, less real. This should not be. For Lincoln the man, patient, wise, set in a high resolve, is worth far more than Lincoln the hero, vaguely glorious. Invaluable is the example of the man, intangible that of the hero. And, though it is not for us, as for those who in awed stillness listened at Gettysburg with inspired perception, to know Abraham Lincoln, yet there is for us another way whereby we may attain such knowledge—through his words—uttered in all sincerity to those who loved or hated him. Cold, unsatisfying they may seem, these printed words, while we can yet speak with those who knew him, and look into eyes that once looked into his. But in truth it is here that we find his simple greatness, his great simplicity, and though no man tried less so to show his power, no man has so shown it more clearly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln, the greatest of all American presidents, left us a vast legacy of writings, some of which are among the most famous in our history. Lincoln was a marvelous writer—from the humblest letter to his great speeches, including his inaugural addresses, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the Gettysburg Address. His sentences were so memorably crafted that many resonate across the years. "Fourscore and seven years ago," begins the Gettysburg Address, "our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." In 1940, the prolific author and historian Philip Van Doren Stern produced this volume as a guide to Lincoln's life through his writings. Stern's "Life of Abraham Lincoln" is a full biography of the man and includes a detailed chronology. Stern has collected all the essential texts of Lincoln's public life, from his first public address—a stump speech in New Salem, Illinois, in 1832 for an election he went on to lose—to his last piece of public writing, a pass to a congressman who was to visit the president the day after Lincoln went to Ford's Theater on April 14, 1865. Some 275 such documents are collected and placed in their historical context. Together with the "Life" and the Introduction, "Lincoln in His Writings," by noted historian Allan Nevins, they give a full and vivid picture of Abraham Lincoln.

Book excerpt: In a major publishing event, this fascinating volume restores and explains the most decisive campaign biography in U.S. history. In 1860, the original book catapulted Abraham Lincoln to the White House by dramatically warning of slavery's threat to American democracy. More than a century later, the New York "Times" still praised the original campaign biography as most authoritative and influential. The book spawned an enduring legend: From amidst poverty and tragic loss, a small boy rises to become a mighty crusader for justice. In this radiant new edition, Boston Hill Press skillfully restores and illustrates Mr. Lincoln's only major autobiographical effort. (He secretly wrote the initial manuscript. Under his direction, John Locke Scripps, a founder of the Chicago "Tribune," polished and expanded it into a national bestseller.) This restored edition reveals the potent political messages and campaign strategies that the candidate slyly wove into the storyline. This is no dusty reprint; pithy new commentary provides often breathtaking insights. Dramatic campaign speeches reverberate again; rare photographs and posters depict a clean-shaven, youthful candidate, as he was then, before he became the bearded sage of our history books. Readers gain fresh perspective on Mr. Lincoln's heartbreaking childhood, as well as his later career as a fearless moral crusader. Of exceptional interest is a jaw-dropping campaign appearance before a potentially hostile crowd of 12,000 people, when, against all odds, Mr. Lincoln brazenly defied incendiary race-baiting by his opponent. Above all, this remarkable campaign biography reminds us that Abraham Lincoln was a legend well before his presidential deeds. His early life inspired a host of American icons: humble birth in a log cabin; Huckleberry Finn boyhood; self-made man; proverbial country lawyer; passionate antiwar protester; hopelessly idealistic novice; and hardened crusader for justice. The book implicitly addresses a profound question: How do we recognize a great statesman, before the glory? As such, "Vote Lincoln!" is still mandatory reading for modern voters seeking the next Abraham Lincoln. This is a first restored edition issued in softcover during the Lincoln Bicentennial Year of 2009. In July 2010, the publisher, Boston Hill Press, plans to issue an Expanded Edition in hardcover with more illustrations and commentary.
