| WAS LINCOLN FUNNY? Abraham Lincoln, America’s 16th President, was perhaps America’s Greatest President. But was the "Great Rail-Splitter" also a genuine side-splitter? Were his rustic tales a clever device for disarming opponentswith a smile - or the ramblings of a madman? This new edition of a historic classic answers those questions and more! 110 YEARS IN THE MAKING, 340 PAGES IN THE READING. Originally published in 1901, "Yarns & Stories of Abraham Lincoln" contains the stories Lincoln told, and the stories told about him. You will find out why it was that among Lincoln's friends and colleagues, the most dreaded he could utter were "That reminds me of a story..." NEW INTRODUCTION AND ILLUSTRATIONS This handsomely-formatted ebook features an original cover design and many new illustrations by Norman Dog, noted author and cartoonist ("Bad Habits", "The 37 Cartoons You Should Read Before You Die", "How I Made Millions Selling Ebooks About How I Made Millions Selling Ebooks And So Can You"), as well as over a hundred illustrations from the original edition! In Addition, Mr. Dog has contributed a new introduction, which puts Lincoln's humor into a modern context for those who may be unfamiliar of his career. |
