Abraham Lincoln (1925)

The Life of Abraham Lincoln, two volumes, by William E. Barton (HC, 1925, $5, for the set of 2. Poor condition, water stains) Autographed on inserted sheet.

From the introduction, "I have been able to explore the greater thoroughnessss some fields hitherto inadequately covered and to penetrate some areas hitherto unknown."

Wow, could he been any more arrogant than that?

Actually now that reread this, it doesn't sound so bad, but read the whole paragraph and you will know why I said that he was arrogant. Look for these books in the sets section.
