About this ebook
She is remembered today as a muckraking journalist, author of such blockbuster exposes as 1904's The History of the Standard Oil Company, which actually contributed to the corporation's breakup in 1911. But in this 1900 work, as charming as it is important, American author IDA MINERVA TARBELL (1857-1944) shows a softer side as she traces, with a laudatory and admiring spirit, the development of the character and morals of Abraham Lincoln.

Excelent book overall. Add to this that it is free and this was a treat to read. Ms. Tarbell's talent for storytelling leaves you wanting more. Touching and personal at times, but still gives a history of probably the greatest President the United States has ever known.
