In His Words: Readings from the Life of Abraham Lincoln by Charles M. Hubbard. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781465240699.

Abraham Lincoln’s words and actions convinced the American people not only to persevere and save the Union, but to create at the same time a more perfect union that granted freedom and liberty for all its citizens. In His Words: Readings from the Life of Abraham Lincoln provides readers with documentary evidence of the workings of Abe. While not designed as a documentary biography on Lincoln, the publication does include letters, speeches, fragmentary notes, and other writings in chronological order spanning from his childhood on the frontier, as a husband and father, as a successful Illinois lawyer, and ultimately as the political leader who guided the nation through the crucible of the Civil War.
