Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Talks: A Biography in Anecdote Always they carried away with them the memory of Lincoln talking, for Father Abraham was one of the world's great story tellers, and his unstudied humor was what thousands remembered of him after they had heard him in law courts or'at political rallies, and in private interviews or intimate conversations. So apt were his jokes and tales that the memory of these alone has rescued from oblivion the incidents and occasions which they served to point. That is why any book planned as this one is must stress one side of Lincoln above others - Lincoln as the Aesop of the American prairies.
