Abraham Lincoln lived in a log cabin during the 1700’s. He was poor and in debt for a long period of time. But Lincoln was determined to fulfill his dreams. Overcoming ridicule and poverty, Lincoln made his way to being the president of the United States.

This is a great book for history lovers. Russell Freedman does a great job of telling Lincoln’s story without adding anything of his own. On almost every page, there are actual pictures of Lincoln’s life. If you like history, read this book! (By the way, I marked this book as All Ages. It’s not really. But it isn’t Older Readers or Younger Readers either. I would say this book is suitable and enjoyable for ages eleven and up.)
