Written by prolific children's historical author Frances Cavanah and originally copyrighted in 1959 by arrangement with Rand McNally & Company. Released under Scholastic catalog number TX 375 with a 60¢ original cover price. The front cover showcases a gorgeous mid-century watercolor illustration of a young, tall Abraham Lincoln navigating a flatboat down the river alongside a grand steamship paddle wheeler. The back cover sets the scene of his humble beginnings on February 12, 1809, with a small log cabin illustration. The cover surfaces are very clean with bright colors, the spine edges are exceptionally crisp and uncreased, and the binding is perfectly secure.
