Unlike many of the countless biographies that have been written about Lincoln, this book takes a lighthearted approach to what made Honest Abe such a badass, beginning with his humble life on the frontier of Kentucky and Indiana in the early 1800s and ending with the legacy he left on American after his tragic assassination.
