Summary "The Life of Abraham Lincoln" by Henry Ketcham is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This biography aims to portray the life and character of one of America's most revered presidents, Abraham Lincoln, from his early beginnings in the frontier to his eventual role in leading the nation during a tumultuous civil war. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage by describing the environment and circumstances into which Lincoln was born and raised. He paints a vivid picture of the early 19th-century American frontier—an untamed landscape marked by a sparse population and the challenges of pioneer life. Ketcham delves into Lincoln's childhood, emphasizing the impact of his mother's teachings and the circumstances that shaped his character. The opening sections highlight not only the physical challenges of frontier living but also suggest the moral and intellectual underpinnings that prepared Lincoln for his future role as a leader, foreshadowing the significant contributions he would make to the nation.
