This Newbery Medal-winning biography of our Civil War president is warm, appealing, and illustrated with dozens of carefully chosen photographs and prints.\u003cp\u003eRussell Freedman begins with a lively account of Abraham Lincoln's boyhood, his career as a country lawyer, and his courtship and marriage to Mary Todd. Then the author focuses on the presidential years (1861 to 1865), skillfullly explaining the many complex issues Lincoln grappled with as he led a deeply divided nation through the Civil War. The book's final chapter is a moving account of that tragic evening in Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. Concludes with a sampling of Lincoln writings and a detailed list of Lincoln historical sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis title has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 2-3, Read Aloud Informational Text).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780899193809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Newbery Medal - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 979\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/23\/2004 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e238 \/ Lincoln: A Photobiography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Russell Freedman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204992696501,"sku":"9780899193809","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_eab6577b-e629-48ea-af76-9c628fb764bc.jpg?v=1698127317","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lincoln-a-photobiography-9780899193809","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
