Summary

From the flag-draped presidential box, Abraham Lincoln watched the popular comedy on stage at the Ford Theater. As he laughed at a funny line--Bang! A single shot rang out from a small derringer, the sound barely audible over the laughter of the crowd. Abe slumped forward, blood running from behind his left ear.

When President Lincoln died the next morning, the United States mourned as it had never mourned before. An assassin had killed the man who had led Americans through the bloody turmoil of the Civil War with an unswerving commitment to rebuilding a strong and united country.

Abe Lincoln had never set his sights on becoming president; after all, he'd grown up in a log cabin on the frontier and had hardly any formal schooling. But as the question of slavery threatened to destroy the United Sates, this self-taught lawyer with a sharp mind and passion for justice found himself at the center of the greatest debate the nation had ever faced.

I absolutely love this!

I'm a mom & a teacher and I am using these with my history curriculum along with the study guides. Both my students and I really really enjoy them. I use the audiobook for my own children to listen to as they follow along with the book simultaneously. I have also read George Washington & Harriet Tubman they have all been fabulous! Such a great way to learn about history and for your kids to like reading lol. Check out the study guides also they are so helpful.
