Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Man of Destiny: Being the Story of Abraham Lincoln
Lone, mysterious character wert thou, The revelation of thyself withheld, So that no mortal ever knew thee well; Yet many judged thee by the glimpse they caught And drew the pictures strangely opposite. The gamut of all feeling thou didst sweep, Upon thy soul did each emotion play; Thou wert the incarnation of each spell That rests upon the human spirit strange. A sphynx-like man, of many, many moods, Unique, and ever still inscrutable! This do we know - that thou wert wise and good, Kind as a woman in thy manly power.
