'Abe' Lincoln's Anecdotes and Stories by Abraham Lincoln
Compiled by
R. D. WORDSWORTH
A collection of the best stories told by Lincoln, which made him famous as
America's best story teller.
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861
until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln successfully led his country through its
greatest constitutional, military, and moral crisis – the American Civil War – preserving
the Union while ending slavery, and promoting economic and financial modernization.
Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, Lincoln was mostly self-educated, and
became a country lawyer, a Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator during the 1830s,
and a one-term member of the United States House of Representatives during the 1840s.
