Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Abraham Lincoln Exhibit Group: Century of Progress, 1833 to 1933, Chicago
Almost a century and a quarter has passed since the birth of Abraham Lincoln.
These years have witnessed the ascent of honest Abe, rail-splitter and circuit-riding lawyer, Con gressman and War President from a secluded Ken tucky log cabin to an immortal and consecrated place in the annals of the Republic.
This is entirely fitting, for without the Great Emancipator and an undissolved Union it is a question whether or not we would be enjoying a Century of Progress Exposition to-day. Without the splendid administration of President Lincoln would our country have become a world power or a pair of minor republics?
