"The Soul of Ann Rutledge: Abraham Lincoln's Romance" by Bernie Babcock is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the early life and romantic journey of Abraham Lincoln, particularly focusing on his relationship with Ann Rutledge, a significant figure in his formative years. Through their story, the narrative delves into themes of love, loss, and the defining moments that shaped Lincoln’s character. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Ann Rutledge, a spirited young woman living in New Salem, Illinois, during the 1830s. The opening chapter vividly portrays a lively scene where Ann joyfully collects plum blossoms while engaging with her friend Nance Cameron. Their excitement is soon directed toward a nearby river, where a flatboat has become stuck. This event not only sets the stage for local camaraderie but also introduces Lincoln, who comes to the forefront as a tall, ungainly figure who ultimately saves the day by righting the boat. Early interactions hint at the developing bonds between characters, foreshadowing the deep emotional connections that will unfold as the story progresses.
