Description
"The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just." - Abraham Lincoln
This is one of several hurriedly prepared campaign biographies of Lincoln, who was not widely known when he became the Republican presidential candidate in May 1860. This 150-page version was later supplemented with a brief biography of Lincoln's running mate, Hannibal Hamlin of Maine, and a selection of Lincoln's speeches to create a longer 354-page version.
