From Lincoln's early practice of law in Springfield, Illinois, through his election to the Presidency of the eve of the Civil War, to his untimely assassination, Harness weaves an enormous amount of information into this compelling picture of our 16th President's public and private life. Readers see Lincoln happy and gangly during his first dance with Mary Todd, playful with his young sons, and strong under pressure as he drafts the Emancipation Proclamation and delivers the Gettysburg Address.

Publishers Weekly

Picking up right where she left off in Young Abe Lincoln, Harness begins the second installment of her biography in 1837, as the 28-year-old state legislator rides into Springfield, Ill. The conversational narrative sets the milestones of Lincoln's personal life into the wider political and economic developments of his turbulent times, following him through career setbacks, his ascension to the White House and leadership during the Civil War, and ending with his assassination. Able as the text is, it is Harness's paintings that most vividly convey Lincoln's private and public personalities. Her densely populated pictures alternate between sweeping scenes (a curious Illinois crowd listening to Lincoln debate Stephen A. Douglas; the President greeted by newly freed slaves as he walks the streets of the fallen Confederate capital) and close-up glimpses of her subject with his cherished family, as he romps on the parlor floor with his boys and anxiously keeps vigil at his dying son's bedside. Illustrated and extensively captioned maps will help young audiences measure the progress of the war and understand the impact of specific battles. Solid storytelling meets sound history. Ages 5-up. (Feb.)
