Author Charnwood, Godfrey Rathbone Benson, Baron, 1864-1945
Title Abraham Lincoln
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Abraham Lincoln" by Lord Charnwood is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed exploration of Abraham Lincoln's early life, illustrating his upbringing and the socio-political context of the United States during his formative years. The narrative not only sheds light on Lincoln's character development but also sets the stage for understanding his future significance as a leader during one of America's most tumultuous periods. The opening of the memoir introduces Lincoln as a respected figure in American history, emphasizing the disconnect between the recognition he ultimately received and the misunderstandings he faced during his lifetime. It paints a picture of his humble beginnings in Kentucky, where he was born into a struggling family. The text describes the challenges of Lincoln's early life, including the loss of his mother and the influence of his father and stepmother. It hints at the formative experiences that shaped his values, including a trip to New Orleans that exposed him to the brutal realities of slavery. Through these early chapters, readers gain insight into Lincoln's burgeoning ambition, moral convictions, and the hardships that would later inform his presidency.
