Abraham Lincoln (1809â€“1865) is one of the most famous Americans in history and one of the countryâ€™s most revered presidents. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the â€œWesternerâ€ who educated himself and became a self made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln successfully navigated the Union through the Civil War but didnâ€™t live to witness his crowning achievement, becoming the first president assassinated when he was shot at Fordâ€™s Theater by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865.

In the generation after the Civil War, Lincoln became an American deity and one of the most written about men in history. With such a sterling reputation, even historians hesitate to write a critical word; in Team of Rivals Doris Kearns Goodwin casts Lincoln as an almost superhuman puppet master in control of his Cabinetâ€™s political machinations and the warâ€™s direction, juggling the balancing act flawlessly. As a result, Lincoln the man is far less known than Lincoln the myth.

History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of Abraham Lincoln humanizes the leader who rose from humble roots to the highest office in the land, discussing lesser-known facts about Lincoln while tracking his rise, his monumental presidency, and his legacy. Along with pictures of Lincoln and other important people and events in his life, your kids will learn about Lincoln like they never have before.
