"Abe" Lincoln's anecdotes and stories: A collection of the best stories told by Lincoln, which made him famous as America's best story teller
This wonderful collection is full of the witty anecdotes and stories told by and about Abraham Lincoln. Here's an example: SORRY FOR THE HORSES When President Lincoln heard of the Confederate raid at Fairfax, in which a brigadier-general and a number of valuable horses were captured, he gravely observed: "Well, I am sorry for the horses." "Sorry for the horses, Mr. President!" exclaimed the Secretary of War, raising his spectacles and throwing himself back in his chair in astonishment. "Yes," replied Mr. Lincoln, "I can make a brigadier-general in five minutes, but it is not easy to replace a hundred and ten horses."

This was not only very cute, but actually laugh-out-loud funny in parts.
I'm sure not even half of these tales are true, but if even those are, Abe Lincoln was an awesome, funny man.
Lincoln's assassination was always sort of just a historical thing, but now it really bothers me... like, on a personal level.
