Synopsis
Excerpt from "Abe" Lincoln's Yarns and Stories: A Complete Collection of the Funny and Witty Anecdotes That Made Lincoln Famous as America's Greatest Story Teller; With Introduction and Anecdotes
Dean Swift said that the man who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before deserves well of his kind. Considering how much grass there is in the world and comparatively how little fun, we think that a still more deserving person is the man who makes many laughs grow where none grew before.
Sometimes it happens that the biggest crop of laugh is produced by a man who ranks among the greatest and wisest. Such a man was Abraham Lincoln, whose wholesome fun mixed with true philosophy made thousands laugh and think at the same time. He was a firm believer in the saying, Laugh and the world laughs with you.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life of Abraham Lincoln, one of America's most beloved presidents, through the lens of his extraordinary storytelling ability. More than just a collection of anecdotes, the book examines how Lincoln's use of stories, often humorous and steeped in folk wisdom, shaped his political career and illuminated his character. The author, a close friend and advisor to Lincoln, provides intimate insight into the President's personal life and how his storytelling was a key tool for navigating the political landscape of his time. Through a blend of historical context and anecdotes, the book explores Lincoln's use of stories as a means of persuasion, a way to connect with the common man, and as a safety valve for the pressures of his high office.
