ABE LINCOLN'S OTHER MOTHER: The Story of Sarah Bush Lincoln

By

Pub Date: Oct. 1st, 1941
Publisher: Messner

Abe Lincoln was ten when he first saw his step-mother, so actually she was more of an influence in his life than the more publicized Nancy Hanks. This is his story, through her point of view as woman and mother. An excellent picture of pioneer life, a new angle on Lincoln, but just a little on the dull side. A mature book, more for girls than boys.
