INTRODUCTION
Lincoln From New and Unusual Sources
The boy or girl who reads to-day may know more about the real Lincoln than his own children knew. The greatest President's son, Robert Lincoln, discussing a certain incident in their life in the White House, remarked to the writer, with a smile full of meaning:
"I believe you know more about our family matters than I do!"
This is because "all the world loves a lover"—and Abraham Lincoln loved everybody.
