Overview

""Lincoln's Parentage & Childhood"" is an authoritative and meticulously researched study of the formative years and ancestral roots of the sixteenth President of the United States. Written by esteemed scholar Louis Austin Warren, this work provides a rigorous examination of the environment and family dynamics that shaped Abraham Lincoln, moving beyond popular folklore to establish a documented historical record.
