On Abraham Lincoln: A Man Of His Story And Words

"Lincoln's emergence as a great orator dates from 1854, when he made a memorable speech in Peoria, October 6, of that year. This was his first major attack upon the position of Senator Douglas as the leader of the Illinois Democrats.

The goal of this book is to equip you with the techniques that Lincoln used to tell a story. The book analyzes the individual methods Lincoln used to tell a story, such as mimicry, self-effacing humor and adding a moral to the story. Following each description, examples are presented of Lincoln using the same method."
