Abraham Lincoln's Personality: Experiences With Animals; Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Personality: Experiences With Animals; Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources
Tears filled the captain's eyes when Mr. Lincoln finished this simple, touching recital of his lost pet's fate. It gave me a clearer insight into the great heart of Lincoln, he said, than years of close association could have done. The kindness of his heart was not merely veneer, - it was the grain of solid wood. He could not help being tender any more than the song birds about his cabin could keep from singing, or the sweetbrier his mother planted could avoid being fragrant. It was easy, even then, for me to see how the boy, so tender to his first pet, might grow to the stature of the man who became one of the noblest exponents of American manhood, and whose career will be quoted as a model as long as our nation endures.
