Kentucky Historical Society, Frankfort (1st Printing, 1997). Stapled softcover, 23pp, illustrated wraps. Clean and unmarked, colors bright, binding intact. About the pamphlet: The State of Kentucky played an important role in the life of Abraham Lincoln. To note that Kentucky was merely the birthplace of Lincoln overlooks the significant influence this state had on Lincoln's journey to the White House and path through the Civil War. Kentucky is fortunate to claim such a remarkable historical figure. Here we invite you to "meet Mr. Lincoln" and to discover the lasting effect that this state had on the life of Abraham Lincoln, and he upon us. From the foreward.
About the author: Dr. John E. Kleber, editor of The Kentucky Encyclopedia and The Encyclopedia of Louisville, provided the narrative for the booklet. He was assisted by Staff of the Legislative Research Commission, Kentucky Historical Society.
