by Martha F. Brenner (Author), Donald Cook (Illustrator)
"As a young lawyer, Abe Lincoln was a memorable individual, friendly and intelligent. To enhance his professional image, he wore a long, black coat and a tall, black hat. Through a series of delightful anecdotes, Brenner reveals the reason Lincoln's hat became such an indispensable item. Brenner and Cook succeed in bringing history to life."--"The Horn Book"
