Abraham Lincoln 16th President of The United States

Abraham Lincoln: Sixteenth President of the United States

By Laurence Thomas Russell

This compact, visually striking booklet offers a fresh lens on one of America’s most mythologized leaders. With bold design and a curated list of surprising facts, it invites readers to rediscover Abraham Lincoln not just as a wartime president, but as a patent-holding innovator, a Thanksgiving founder, and a man who once faced enemy fire while in office.

The front cover features a solemn black-and-white portrait of Lincoln, framed by a red and black backdrop that evokes the gravity of the Civil War era. Inside, readers are greeted by a “Did You Know?” panel — a punchy, accessible format that delivers emotional resonance and historical intrigue in equal measure. From Lincoln’s wrestling days to the posthumous mystery of his reopened casket, each fact is a conversation starter, ideal for classrooms, gift shops, or civic exhibits.

A quote attributed to Lincoln anchors the piece with moral clarity:

“I would rather be assassinated than to see a single star removed from the American flag. We must each have an equal chance.”

Published by Laurence Russell Publishing and distributed by American Souvenirs and Gifts, this booklet is designed for impact — a perfect blend of visual storytelling and historical surprise. Whether you’re curating a museum shelf or sparking dialogue in a classroom, it delivers Lincoln’s legacy in a format that’s both memorable and emotionally compelling.
