Mentor Graham: The Man Who Taught Lincoln (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163146118)

""Mentor Graham: The Man Who Taught Lincoln"" is a book written by Kunigunde Duncan that tells the story of a little-known figure in Abraham Lincoln's life. The book explores the relationship between Lincoln and his mentor, Jesse W. Weik, who was a young lawyer in Indiana when he met Graham. Graham was a schoolteacher who took Weik under his wing and taught him the value of education, the importance of hard work, and the power of words. Weik later introduced Lincoln to Graham, and the two developed a close friendship. The book explores the impact that Graham had on Lincoln's life and career, and how his teachings helped shape the future president's worldview. Through interviews with historians, primary source documents, and personal anecdotes, ""Mentor Graham"" sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of Lincoln's life and provides insight into the character of one of America's most beloved presidents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
