High Water: Abraham Lincoln from the Family Farm to New Orleans, 1831
THE YOUNG MAN LINCOLN TRILOGY
BASED ON FACT
In three detailed novels, each one ending with a factual review and references to sources, readers can for the first time truly live at Abraham Lincoln’s side through his first year-and-a-half in Illinois, 1830-31. During this time Abraham suffered through a hard winter. He left off serving as his father’s helper on the family farm. After an eventful trip to New Orleans, he returned to Illinois. As a man hardened by what he had experienced and seen, Abraham settled in New Salem. In that village, he first found love.
DEEP SNOW
After vignettes of Abraham growing up in Indiana, DEEP SNOW follows Abraham moving to Illinois at age 21, where he sickens but finally survives his hardest winter.
HIGH WATER
Abraham’s hazardous trip by flatboat to New Orleans (where he witnesses a slave hanging) is tracked in the second volume of the trilogy, HIGH WATER.
FULL HEART
Abraham leaves the farm to become a storekeeper in New Salem for Denton Offutt. There, Abraham meets Ann Rutledge, whom he begins to court in the trilogy’s concluding volume, FULL HEART.
