Abe Lincoln Gets His Chance
Originally published in 1959, Abe Lincoln Gets His Chance is a somewhat fictionalized biography of Abraham Lincoln for young readers by Frances Cavanah. These kind of stories for children were popular back in the 1950s and early 1960s. The book was written from Lincoln's autobiography and accounts of Lincoln's friends, but the dialogue is generally made up.
The book opens with Abe's birth in 1809, and focuses mainly on his childhood: growing up in Kentucky, moving to Indiana, losing his mother Nancy and gaining his step-mother Sarah Bush Lincoln, his school days, rafting to New Orleans, and eventually his move to Illinois. The book ends with Lincoln winning the Presidency. This book is about 120 pages and is suitable for a kid's book report or something similar.
