Description: This is a beautifully illustrated, antique copy of "The Life of ABRAHAM LINCOLN" by Charles Carleton Coffin. 1897; Harper & Brothers; New York. The book features illustrations throughout, many of which are full-page. From the author's Introduction: "This volume is to be regarded as a Sketch of the Life and times of Abraham Lincoln rather than as a biography. His intellectual and moral qualities will be seen far better in the historic narration than by any analysis that might be given. The Muse of History has recognized him as the liberator of a race, redeemer of a republic, and one of the great benefactors of all time. It is to be hoped that eulogy never will place him up on a pedestal or smooth out the lines that make up the true portrait of this man of the people, appointed by the divine Providence to render inestimable service to his fellow men." The contents are as follows: Ancestry; Early Years; Life in Indiana; A Citizen of Illinois; Life at New Salem; In Public Life; Riding the Circuit; Seven Years of Active Life; Beginning of the Conflict Between Freedom and Slavery; Kansas-Nebraska Struggle; Nominated for the Presidency; The Election, 1860; Outbreak of the Rebellion; First Months of the War; Autumn of 1861; Winter of 1862; Preliminary to Emancipation; Emancipation; Darkness Before the Dawn; Gettysburg; Spring of 1864; Summer of 1864; Peace Democracy; Re-Elected President; The End of Slavery; Second Presidential Term; In Richmond; The Closing Scene; Apotheosis.
