App Description
Introducing “Lincoln Letters” – an extremely rare compilation of four very personal letters penned by President Abraham Lincoln. Download this app – a Vook that combines incredible videos and images with a powerful text – and you'll gain new insight into the life of one of America's most revered Presidents.
Explore President Lincoln's letters through seven compelling and insightful videos that illuminate the meaning behind Lincoln's carefully selected words.
Learn about:
⇨ Lincoln’s letter to his illiterate father in which he agrees to send him money;
⇨ Lincoln's very frank letter of admonition to his ne’er-do-well brother for his inability to manage money;
⇨ A letter to General Ulysses S. Grant infused with relief and gratitude for his competency in commanding Union troops in the Civil War (a source of constant frustration for Lincoln throughout his Presidency);
⇨ Lincoln’s scrawled pardon of a southern sympathizer (sparing him execution) provides an insightful look at one of the tasks Lincoln loathed most during the turbulent years of the Civil War.
First published by the Bibliophile Society from a private collection of original letters, Lincoln Letters reminds us of the power of the written word and of the pen of Abraham Lincoln.
Explore this Vook and get to know Lincoln, the man, in a more intimate way than ever before. Try it now!
