Abe Lincoln: Log Cabin to White House, by Sterling North, is a biography of 148 pages. The story takes place in Springfield, Illinois, and Washington, D.C.
Abe Lincoln was born on a farm in Kentucky. His mother died when he was 10. After that his 12 year old sister did the cooking and cleaning until Tom Lincoln got a new wife named Sarah. When Abe was 12 he got kicked by a horse. (OUCH!) Abe was a successful lawyer and had his own law office. Soon Abe Lincoln was voted as president. Right after the slaves were free Abe was murdered by a crazed actor named John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater while watching a play titled “My American Cousin”.
I’m better because it teaches me to never give up. It also makes me wiser because it teaches me to make the “right” choices. It proves that no task is too big and to let freedom ring.
Abe said his final words to his friends in Illinois when he got on the train and prepared to leave or Washington D.C. Before he left he said, “My friends… No one not in my situation can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to old man. Here my children have been born and one buried. I now leave, not knowing when, whether I may return, with a task before me greater than that rested upon Washington. I now bid you a farewell.”
The best thing about this book is that it teaches you a piece of history. It also teaches you to never give up. I’ve learned a lot from this book I hope people who read it do too.
