coln-Douglas debates and with what
fairness and accuracy that Barton
treats Douglas.
Barton is masterful In treating the
various STAGES of Lincoln's final
stand upon slavery. Another great
advantage to be foqRd in Barton's
life Of Lincoln is that he is able to
picture the political and moral
thought Of the nation as Lincoln
grew and developed.
Dr. Barton has done a great serv-
ice in giving the reading world a
picture of Abraham Lincoln which
shows just why Lincoln became
great.
He shows Lincoln as he existed
when living not as the myth makers
have attempted to picture him.

Not "So Soap" the Great Character of Lincoln

there into Indiana. then into Illinois
and Springfield.
seem to see Lincoln as a normal
boy Of that period. And when Lin.
coin is pictured in that way-re
fiecting and being a part Of the
natural conditions of, his neighbor
hood-then 1 can believe DR.. Barton
and admit that Barton is supreme in
giving the world p great Lincoln,
great because he grew up in certain
normal neighborhoods filled with
normal men and women of that
period.
believe that when we get an
honest picture of Lincoln as boy
as well as of his parents. we remove
so many false impressions.
One time when was in school, |
had the feeling that certain men Of
history were just born great. That's
the trouble with the mental con.
ception OF many people. 1t has
always been my belief that Lincoln
was not born great, but he did de.
velop greatness.
And that is the only way that !
will consider any avenue of approach
to the real life of Abraham Lincoln.
I have waited to find the real
Abraham Lincoln and DR.. Barton
has done that.
What Is Covered
Barton, in giving us a logical view
of Lincoln, starts with his parentage
and his early life in Kentucky. ]
was interested In what part Indiana
played upon Lincoln. Some of the
Kentucky chains Of thoughht were
broken while in this State, but I'LL
nois really was the campaign ground
where Lincoln developed greatness
and leadership.
Barton has devoted much time anc
serious thought to Lincoln's love af
fairs and to various facts concerning
| the type OF a woman who became
Mrs. Lincoln.
Barton exposes the "lie" in many
