He Knew Lincoln

By Ida M. Tarbell

Front Cover:

This beautiful, old, First Edition book was published in 1907 by The McClure Company, New York. The book measures approximately 4 ¾ inches by 7 ¾ inches and contains 39 pages . The dark blue cloth cover shows minor signs of wear to the edges, corners and to the top and bottom of the spine. There is a lovely gilt pictorial of Lincoln on the front cover and the title on the front in gilt. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The pages are printed on a good quality paper and show no signs of rips or foxing. The pages have aged to a nice ivory color with the end pages slightly darker. The edges of the pages are deckled. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this book is near very good.





Excerpt:
.Before I heard that story I.d heard Lincoln say a hundred times, settin. right there in that chair, where you are, .Boys, we.ve got to stop slavery or it.s goin. to spread all over this country,. but, somehow, I didn.t see it before. Them snakes fished me. Then I knew he.d got it right and I.d got to vote for him. Pretty tough, though, for me to go back on Little .Doug.. You see he was our great man, so we thought. Been to the United States Senate and knew all the big bugs all over the country. Sort o. looked and talked great. Wan.t no comparison between him and Lincoln in looks and talk. Of course, we all knew he wan.t honest, like Lincoln, but blamed if I didn.t think in them days Lincoln was too all-fired honest - kind of innocent honest.
