Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Lincoln the Unknown by Dale Carnegie was published by the Forest Hills Publishing Co., Forest Hills, New York, in 1932. Not an ex-library copy, this 82-year-old, 305-page, 5 1/2" X 8", signed offering is in G+ condition. It does NOT appear to be a First Edition as, though it "says" it was copyrighted in 1932, it has pictorial laminated boards, which I do not believe were "used" back in 1932. It IS a really nice older SIGNED edition. There is spotty, light staining on the back cover board, noticeable shelf wear at top two outer tips of boards, and more modest shelf wear at top and bottom edges of volume's spine. Staining from original glue is observed on front/back end papers, and there is modest yellowing of same as well as pages of text. There is a 2 1/2" X 4 3/4" Award Plate attached to bottom-third portion of front loose end page, and said Plate is SIGNED by the author. This is, Reader, a most fascinating telling of the life of Abraham Lincoln, written as it is by a man who himself was born in poverty/extremely humble circumstances, but who rose, in his lifetime, to astounding heights of success and acclaim and wealth. Although Carnegie appropriately details our sixteenth President's accomplishments and triumphs, the author tilts decidedly towards ".the personal side of his career: to his sorrows, his repeated failures, his poverty, his great love for Ann Rutledge, and his tragic marriage to Mary Todd"(from "How This Book Was Written--and Why", immediately preceding Chapter I of Part One). Indeed, this literary effort on Carnegie's part may well document the MOTHER OF ALL EXAMPLES OF PICKING ONE'S SELF UP AND CARRYING ON/TRYING AGAIN AFTER EACH LETDOWN/DISAPPOINTMENT. As with all books that fascinate, this one must be read, obviously, to experience its amazing grasp upon one's attention. If Lincoln is one who interests you, this is one, among the thousands of books written about him, that you should seriously consider reading. Organized in three parts, stretching over some thirty-three chapters, there is also a Bibliography included. Thank you!! Signed by Author(s).

Dale Harbison Carnegie (November 24, 1888 November 1, 1955) was an American writer and lecturer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. He was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936), a bestseller that remains popular today. He also wrote, Lincoln the Unknown (1932), and several other books. One of the core ideas is that it is possible to change other people's behavior by changing one's behavior toward them. By 1916 Dale was able to rent Carnegie Hall itself for a lecture to a packed house. Carnegie's first collection of his writings was Public Speaking: a Practical Course for Business Men (1926), later entitled Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business (1932). His crowning achievement, however, was when Simon & Schuster published How to Win Friends and Influence People. Lincoln the Unknown is a biography of Abraham Lincoln, written in 1932 by Dale Carnegie and given out as a prize in the Dale Carnegie Course. One spring day, Dale Carnegie came across a column in the Morning Post newspaper entitled "Men and Memories". On that particular morning and for several mornings following, that column was devoted to Abraham Lincolnthe personal side of his career. Carnegie read those with profound interest, and surprise. He determined to write a book on Lincoln, himself. Carnegie began the work in Europe, and then went to Illinois, to write of Lincoln on the very ground where Lincoln himself had dreamed and toiled. He delved among old books, letters, speeches, newspapers and court records, trying to understand Lincoln. Carnegie wrote many of the chapters in Springfield. Some in the sitting-room of the old home where Lincoln lived, some at the desk where he composed his first inaugural address, and others where he came to court Mary Todd. Later edition from an additional publisher.

Hardcover. Condition: fair to good. Early edition. 305 pages. Bibliography, board corners and top and bottom spine edges worn/small chips, small piece missing at top of spine. Dale Harbison Carnegie (November 24, 1888 - November 1, 1955) was an American writer and lecturer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. He was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936), a bestseller that remains popular today. He also wrote How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948), Lincoln the Unknown (1932), and several other books. One of the core ideas in his books is that it is possible to change other people's behavior by changing one's behavior toward them. Carnegie changed the spelling of his last name from "Carnagey" to Carnegie, at a time when Andrew Carnegie (unrelated) was a widely revered and recognized name. As Dale Carnagey he worked as assistant to Lowell Thomas in his famous travelogue "With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia". He managed and delivered the travelogue in Canada. By 1916 Dale was able to rent Carnegie Hall itself for a lecture to a packed house.[5] Carnegie's first collection of his writings was Public Speaking: a Practical Course for Business Men (1926), later entitled Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business (1932). His crowning achievement, however, was when Simon & Schuster published How to Win Friends and Influence People. Carnegie died at his home in Forest Hills, New York, where this early edition was published. Bookplate signed by Dale Carnegie awarding this book to a student in class number 16 as a prize for his excellent talk on "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Lincoln the Unknown is a biography of Abraham Lincoln, written in 1932 by Dale Carnegie. It is published by Dale Carnegie and Associates, and given out as a prize in the Dale Carnegie Course. Abraham Lincoln, a farm boy, becomes the president of The United States. He travels miles to borrow books; reading being the dominant passion of his for quarter of a century. He mourns the loss of his first love his whole life. He humors his colleagues in the White House, and lives with the difficulties of the marriage with his second love, while in war with the South. One spring day, Dale Carnegie was breakfasting at a hotel in London. He came across a column in the Morning Post newspaper entitled "Men and Memories". On that particular morning and for several mornings following, that column was devoted to Abraham Lincoln-the personal side of his career. Carnegie read those with profound interest, and surprise. He had always been interested in the United States history. Aroused by the articles in the Morning Post, Carnegie went over to the British Museum Library and read a number of Lincoln books; the more he read, the more fascinated he became. Finally he determined to write a book on Lincoln, himself. Carnegie began the work in Europe, and labored over it for a year there, and then for two years in New York. Finally he tore up all that he had written and tossed it into a waste-basket. He then went to Illinois, to write of Lincoln on the very ground where Lincoln himself had dreamed and toiled. For months he lived among people whose fathers had helped Lincoln survey land, build fences and drive hogs to market. For months he delved among old books, letters, speeches, half-forgotten newspapers and musty court records, trying to understand Lincoln. Carnegie spent one summer in the little town of Petersburg. He went there because it is only a mile away from the restored village of New Salem, where Lincoln spent the happiest and most formative years of his life. The same white oaks under which Lincoln studied, wrestled and made love were still standing. Every morning Carnegie used to take his typewriter and motor up there from Petersburg, and wrote half of the chapters of his book under those trees. He often used to go alone to the woods along the banks of the Sangamon, on summer.

The book is crisp, clean and remarkable as it was Worthington C. Ford's personal copy, signed by him on the front endpaper with an occasional marginal note. Ford has also glued in a folded letter to him from Earl Wellington Wiley who wrote the introduction for this book. Wiley's letter is written on his Ohio State University, Depart. of English stationery: Dear Dr. Ford: I have ordered a copy of "Four Speeches of Lincoln" sent you, and hope it will be sent out shortly. It included the Scott Club speech. I am very interested in the Lincoln biography you are working on and shall look forward to its publication. I am working on Lincoln as a public speaker. Very cordially, Earl W. WileyWorthington C. Ford was the youngest member of a distinguished and notorious family. He was the great-grandson (through his mother) ofNoah Webster.[2]His two younger brothers werePaul Leicester Ford, an eminent biographer and novelist, andMalcolm Webster Ford, a distinguished amateur athlete. Both died May 8, 1902 in amurder-suicidewhen Malcolm shot Paul and then himself.[3] Ford was best known for his edited collections of a number ofFounding Fathersdocuments, including "The writings of George Washington (14 Volumes)", "Alexander Hamilton's notes in the Federal convention of 1787", and "Writings of John Quincy Adams". He also edited collections of the correspondence ofThomas Jefferson,John Adams, and other figures in early American history.[4]Ford's historical work was also notable for his tenure as chief of the newly established Manuscripts Division at theLibrary of Congress. During his time in charge, from 1903 to 1909,[4]he organized a significant effort to photograph and copy manuscripts pertaining to early American history which resided in foreign archives (especially France, Britain, and Spain). In this way, copies of many documents which had been missing since 1812 or earlier were recovered.[5]In addition, he edited and published the completeJournals of the Continental Congress, 17741789. (Wikipedia) From the Preface: "Like Saul of Tarsus, Lincoln when he addressed the Scott Club carried a commission to persecute the unfaithful, -- and the Scott Club speech may be construed as the 'stoning' of Stephen [Douglas]. At least, critics partial to sensational testimony may find cause in the speech to represent Lincoln as malicious and uncharitable. That was in 1852. Then, on some road to Damascus, he looked at politics in another light; and henceforth he spoke against his political rivals in a spirit less vindictive than he had used in his early days. But he grew in power of argument as well as in kindliness of spirit. For years, for example, he struggled to demonstrate the proposition which he eventually demonstrated at Cooper Union. But six years it took him to make the argument effective. Thus, slowly grew Lincoln to power. It is my purpose in the Introduction to trace this two-fold development of Abraham Lincoln: first, to show how he abandoned the spirit of the partisan. For this purpose, the Scott Club speech is compared to the 'Apple of Gold Speech.' To show how Lincoln grew in power of debate, the argument used in the Indianapolis and Leavenworth speeches is compared to the same argument as used in Cooper Union."
