Book excerpt: "In writing this story of Abraham Lincoln, the author depended primarily on Lincoln's own statements and on the statements of his family and friends who had firsthand knowledge of his everyday life. In instances when dialogue had to be imagined, the conversation might logically have taken place in the light of known circumstances. Such descriptive details as were necessarily added were based on authentic accounts of pioneer times." -Frances CavanahOriginally published in 1959 by Rand McNally & Company, Abe Lincoln Gets His Chance is a semi-historical fictional short novel, recounting rustic yarns of a teenage Abe Lincoln.A fresh slant is achieved in this story of Lincoln, written especially for children of the "middle years" and concentrating on his youth and young manhood. In this lively, glowing portrait the author shows us a man who, because of the depth and variety and simple humility of his character, seems to grow more appealing every year.
