The story of Abraham Lincoln, widely considered America’s greatest president

The third installment of the Making of America series, Abraham Lincoln
follows one of our most popular presidents. Even though he grew up on
the frontier without a formal education, Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
worked his way up in the government. He was elected to the Illinois
House of Representatives, then to the US House of Representatives, and
then he became the 16th president of the United States. During his
presidency, he led the United States through the Civil War, brought
about the emancipation of the enslaved, and strengthened the federal
government. Unlike other biographical works, the Making of America
series goes beyond individual narratives and links influential figures
to create an overarching story of America’s growth. The books can be
read on their own and are also a way to entice young readers to study
American history. The book includes selections from Lincoln’s writings,
endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.

Teri Kanefield is a lawyer and the award-winning author of The Girl from the Tar Paper School, The Extraordinary Suzy Wright, the Making of America series, and more. She lives in San Luis Obispo, on the central California coast.
