This work aims to showcase Lincoln as one of America’s finest storytellers, highlighting his wit and ability to find humor even in serious circumstances during the Civil War. The opening of this collection introduces Lincoln as a fun-loving individual, revealing his penchant for humor through various anecdotes that illustrate his character. In these initial stories, we see Lincoln's sharp wit in conversations about soldiers, political rivals, and humorous instances from his life. For example, he humorously responds to a rival liveryman about the slow horse he was provided and reflects on the nature of generalship during conversations with his advisors.
