About This Item
1920 hardcover as pictured. An interesting book, quite popular when published in 1920, that made a number of claims concerning Lincoln's forebears. These issues were resolved in 2015 following DNA studies on his descendants. Binding is firm. Green cloth boards with gold stamping are faded over spine with light shelf wear. Pencil notations on FFEP. Rough cut text block. Text appears clean and unmarked. No dust jacket. Your purchase helps support our small village library. s AR
