| Summary | "He Knew Lincoln" by Ida M. Tarbell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the personal memories and anecdotes of those who knew Abraham Lincoln, offering an intimate glimpse into his character, humor, and the profound impact he had on the people around him. Through the words of a Springfield storekeeper, the narrative provides a unique perspective on Lincoln's life before and during his presidency. In the book, the narrator shares fond recollections of Lincoln from his early days as a traveling lawyer to his time as President of the United States. The anecdotes reveal Lincoln's wit, charm, and genuine concern for his fellow citizens, as well as his ability to connect with the common man. As he recounts various stories—like Lincoln's humorous exchanges with friends, his heartfelt interactions with local constituents, and the tearful farewell from the community when he left for Washington—the reader gets a vivid portrait of Lincoln as both a man and a leader. The anecdotes culminate in the profound sorrow felt by the narrator and his community upon hearing of Lincoln's assassination, emphasizing the deep bond they shared and the loss that reverberated through the nation.
