Born in a cabin deep in the backwoods of Kentucky and growing up in a family considered the poorest of the poor, Abraham Lincoln rose to become the sixteenth president of the United States. As president, he guided the United States through the Civil War, helped end slavery in America, and strengthened the federal government. This third installment in the Making of America series-a series that goes beyond individual narratives and links influential figures to create an overarching story of America's growth-continues the story of the first one hundred years of America's constitutional history, a story that began with Alexander Hamilton and Andrew Jackson.

      The straightforward, earnest narration Pete Cross brings to the story of America's sixteenth president suits both the well-researched narrative and the character of the beloved historical figure. In addition to the biography, this audiobook explains the lasting importance of several Constitutional amendments and the road to the Emancipation Proclamation, and provides contextual information, such as how the Democratic and Republican parties of today differ from their historical counterparts. All of this is presented in Cross's calm, measured tones. Since the text is highlighted by a considerable number of quotes from Lincoln's writing, which help to affirm him as self-effacing yet determined in his political opinions, Cross makes the most of words infused with humor, gravity, and wit. This is a well-rounded portrait of an American icon. E.J.F. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
