Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1: A History It is not, therefore, with any thought of adding mate rially to his already accomplished renown that we have written the work which we now ofier to our fellow-citizens. But each age owes to its successors the truth in regard to its own annals. The young men who have been born since Sumter was fired on have a right to all their elders know of the important events they came too late to share in. The life and fame of Lincoln will not have their legitimate effect of instruction and example unless the circumstances among which he lived and found his opportunities are placed in their true light before the men who never saw him.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1 of 2 His ancestors, who were Quakers, went to Virginia from Berks County, Pennsylvania. An effort to identify them with the New England family of the same name ended in nothing more definite than a similarity of Christian names in both families, such as Enoch, Levi, Mordecai, Solomon, Abra ham, and the like. This effort to connect the president with the Lincolns of Massachusetts was afterward carried forward by others, who felt an interest greater than his own in establishing the fact. Yet if he had expected the quest to result satisfactorily, he would probably have been less indifferent about it; for it is obvious that, in common with all Ameri cans of the old native stock, he had a strenuous desire to come of respectable people; and his very reluctance to have his apparently low extrac tion investigated is evidence that he would have been glad to learn that he belonged to an ancient and historical family of the old Puritan Common wealth, Settlers not far from Plymouth Rock, and immigrants not long after the arrival of the May flower. This descent has at last been traced by the patient genealogist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
