Abraham Lincoln and his ancestors

Young Samuel Lincoln, who had been apprenticed as a weaver in England, arrived in the Puritan colony of Boston Bay in 1637. This book traces the generations from Samuel to Abraham Lincoln, offering details of character and circumstance and showing that the president's ancestors were not precisely as his detractors painted them.
