Samenvatting
A renowned orator and writer, Lincoln believed that he must speak plainly so that every American, regardless of their level of education or literacy, would understand the complicated issues affecting the country during his presidency. He overcame a very humble childhood to become our nation's sixteenth president and a trailblazer in the fight to abolish slavery. In addition to the accomplishments of his lifetime, it is Lincoln's simple but elegant words - in everything from the Emancipation Proclamation to compassionate and often humorous letters to family and friends - that are his legacy. They are proof of his unfailing dedication to the ideals of freedom, equality, and justice upon which America was founded. In this comprehensive collection of Lincoln's writings, historian Milton Meltzer provides a rare personal glimpse into the life of the man behind the legendary words. This handsome volume also features bold, dramatic linocuts by illustrator Stephen Alcorn. Includes author's and illustrator's notes, profiles of Lincoln's contemporaries, and a chronology of Lincoln's life. AGES: 12 and up AUTHOR: Milton Meltzer (1915-2009) was the author of 110 books, five of which were nominated for the National Book Award. With Langston Hughes, he coauthored A Pictorial History of African Americans, now in its sixth edition. He received the 2001 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for his contribution to children's literature, the 1986 Jane Addams Peace Association Children's Book Award, and the 2000 Regina Medal.
