Abe Lincoln Crosses a Creek: A Tall, Thin Tale (Introducing His Forgotten Frontier Friend)

Now, Iâ€™m sure you know lots about Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States. But what you might not know is that Abe would never have become president if it hadnâ€™t been for Austin Gollaher.

Learn the story of what really happened to Honest Abe when he was just a kid in this nonfiction picture book that's perfect for President's Day and every day!
Â
The year is 1816. Abe is only seven years old, and his pal, Austin Gollaher, is ten. Abe and Austin decide to journey down to Knob Creek. The water looks scary and deep, and Austin points out that they donâ€™t know how to swim. Nevertheless, they decide to traverse it. I wonâ€™t tell you what happens, but letâ€™s just say that our country wouldnâ€™t be the same if Austin hadnâ€™t been there to help his friend.
