| Summary | "Abraham Lincoln: The True Story of a Great Life, Volume 2 (of 2)" by William H. Herndon and Jesse W. Weik is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The biography presents an in-depth exploration of the life of Abraham Lincoln, detailing his legal career and political evolution leading up to his presidency. Herndon, Lincoln's law partner, offers personal anecdotes and insights into Lincoln's character, emphasizing his unique approach to law, justice, and the political landscape of his time. The opening of this volume dives into Lincoln's experiences as a lawyer, delving into the contrasting aspects of his legal career. Though he often appeared unremarkable and unstudious, preferring storytelling over conventional methods, Lincoln's keen sense of justice and powerful rhetorical skills shone in the courtroom. Herndon contrasts Lincoln’s casual demeanor with his underlying competence, outlining how Lincoln operated with a focus on moral principles rather than strict legalities. This section sets the stage for understanding Lincoln's eventual political awakening, highlighting the foundations that later contributed to his leadership during a tumultuous period in American history.
