| Summary | "Abraham Lincoln: A History — Volume 01" by John G. Nicolay and John Hay is a historical account written in the late 19th century that delves into the life and legacy of one of America’s most revered presidents, Abraham Lincoln. The narrative begins by establishing the context of Lincoln's early years, detailing his familial lineage, childhood experiences, and formative years against the backdrop of a young nation grappling with its identity and values. The opening of the text provides an exploration of Lincoln's ancestry, beginning with his great-grandfather's journey to America and the family's migration to Kentucky, where significant events shaped their lives. Subsequent chapters promise to detail Lincoln's challenging upbringing, his family's struggles, their relocation to Indiana, and his early formative experiences in Illinois, setting the stage for understanding the complexities of his character and the historical circumstances leading to his rise to prominence. This initial segment serves to underscore the authors' intent to present both an intimate portrayal of Lincoln's personal growth and a broader narrative of the societal and political climate of his time.
