Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and the Men of His Time, Vol. 1 of 2
Philip of Macedon, founder of one of the greatest em pires of antiquity, spent a lifetime of patient, laborious work in the camps and fields of his armies and peoples, training his invincible phalanx, building an undisputed world's kingdom, which perished in less time through the quarreling and disputes of his successors over the subdi vision of the conquest of the daring, dissipated Alexander. Philip and his son had capacity and courage to build and conquer, but not the wisdom to perpetuate a nation of ia dependent men.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This insightful narrative chronicles the formative experiences of Abraham Lincoln, a towering figure in American history who rose from humble beginnings to become the nation's sixteenth president during the tumultuous Civil War era. The book meticulously examines the influences that shaped Lincoln's unwavering dedication to preserving the Union and abolishing slavery, a system that he deeply abhorred as a violation of fundamental human rights. Through meticulous research and analysis, the author explores the profound impact of Lincoln's early life in the rugged frontier communities of Kentucky and Indiana, where he developed an intimate understanding of the common people's hopes and struggles. This understanding would later serve as a guiding force in his political career, enabling him to connect with voters at a personal level. The book also sheds light on Lincoln's remarkable intellectual curiosity and his self-directed pursuit of knowledge, which laid the groundwork for his exceptional leadership qualities. Lincoln's journey from obscurity to national prominence is an inspiring story of determination, resilience, and unwavering belief in the power of human progress. By delving into the complexities of Lincoln's character and the challenges he faced, this book offers valuable insights into the making of a true American icon.
