At the start of the book, the author reflects on the commemoration of Lincoln's birth on February 12, 1909, emphasizing the importance of remembering and honoring the great American leader who guided the nation through its most troubled times. The opening notes the context of Lincoln's early life, detailing his humble beginnings and the formative experiences that shaped his character. The narrative emphasizes Lincoln's deep-seated opposition to slavery, developed during his youth, and hints at the moral and political challenges he is destined to face as he rises to national prominence.
