Meet Abraham Lincoln
BARBARA CARY
WHEN ABRAHAM LINCOLN was born, slavery was an everyday part of
life. Even so, Abe didn’t like it. As he grew older, he worked to aid his fellow
countrymen regardless of their color. As a surveyor, Abe helped people
inspect their land. As a lawyer, he made sure people were treated fairly in
court. But he wanted to do even more. After years of hard work, he
became president of the United States and ended slavery forever.
Meet Thomas Jefferson
MARVIN BARRETT
When Thomas Jefferson was young, Virginia was still a colony of England.
Thomas thought that many English laws and taxes were unfair, so he
studied hard to become a lawyer and help make better laws. Soon he and
others came to believe that the colonies should become a new country,
and Thomas was chosen to write the Declaration of Independence. As the
third president of the United States, he focused on exploring the country
and making it grow. His fairness and love of learning made him one of the
most beloved presidents of all time.
These simple biographies covering the childhoods and adulthoods of
famous Americans are old favorites among teachers, librarians, parents,
and kids.
