Abraham Lincoln, whose Emancipation Proclamation freed more than four million slaves, was a keen politician, an accomplished statesman, a shrewd diplomat, and a profoundly wise and funny storyteller. In this collection of Lincoln's yarns and stories, Alexander McClure, who knew Lincoln well, has compiled the witty moral tales that made Lincoln famous before he ever became president. This book is printed on archival-quality paper using a new, "green" publishing method called print-on-demand, which greatly reduces the time, cost, and waste of traditional publishing. The book is produced and distributed after it is ordered--one book at a time. That means there are no wasted books--no "remainders" to be sold at a discount, no unsalable books to be shredded, no wasted trees. This is a book you can feel good about buying.
