Abe Lincoln Gets His Chance: “Especially For Children of The ‘Middle’ Years”
This oddly colored and whimsically illustrated tome arrived on my doorstep last weekend, declaring its presence with a note – wishing me a Happy Abe Lincoln’s Birthday! Delight ensued.
Originally published in 1959 by Rand McNally & Company, Abe Lincoln Gets His Chance is a semi-historical fiction novela, recounting rustic yarns of a teenage Abe Lincoln.
From the dust jacket…
A fresh slant is achieved in this story of Abe Lincoln, written especially for children of the “middle” years and concentrating on his youth and young manhood. In this lively, glowing portrait the author shows us a man who, because of the depth and variety and simple humility of his character, seems to grow more appealing every year.
Check out its Amazon listing for info on tracking it down with used booksellers.
