We all know that Abraham Lincoln gave the historic Gettysburg Address and ended the Civil War. But did you also know that he never went to college, was a licensed bartender, and kept important documents in his famous top hat?

Historically accurate and highly entertaining, Action Presidents' bold and hilarious comic-style illustration is perfect for curious minds, filled with timelines, maps, charts, and more, readers will keep learning until the last page.
