"Honest Abe: A Study in Integrity Based on the Early Life of Abraham Lincoln" by Alonzo Rothschild is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the formative years of Abraham Lincoln, focusing on his character, integrity, and the influence of his family background. It aims to shed light on how his early experiences shaped him into the emblematic figure of honesty and moral fortitude that he is celebrated as today. The opening of the book sets the foundation for a detailed exploration of Lincoln’s life, particularly emphasizing his inherent honesty and the hardships faced by his family during his upbringing. It describes the poverty Lincoln endured in his childhood and how the moral values instilled by his parents, especially his mother, played a crucial role in shaping his character. The narrative recounts anecdotes that highlight his early understanding of right and wrong and his unwavering commitment to truth, such as his willful efforts to settle debts and his conscientiousness in dealings with others. Throughout this introductory segment, Rothschild firmly establishes Lincoln's reputation as "Honest Abe," illustrating how his integrity was evident from a young age.
