The Every-day Life of Abraham Lincoln
A Narrative And Descriptive Biography With Pen-Pictures And Personal Recollections By Those Who Knew Him
Francis F. Browne, a Chicago editor and founder of the literary journal The Dial, first published The Every-day Life of Abraham Lincoln in 1886. It is a narrative biography built largely from the recollections of people who knew Lincoln: neighbors from his boyhood in Kentucky and Indiana, fellow lawyers and politicians in Illinois, soldiers, officials and visitors to the White House. Browne follows him from the frontier cabin through the debates with Douglas, the election of 1860 and the war years to the assassination, preferring anecdote, personal impression and quoted reminiscence to analysis. The result is a portrait of Lincoln's manners, humor and habits as his contemporaries saw them. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
