The Paternity of Abraham Lincoln: Was He the Son of Thomas Lincoln? An Essay on the Chastity of Nancy Hanks is a book written by William E. Barton. The book explores the question of whether Abraham Lincoln was the biological son of Thomas Lincoln, his supposed father. The author delves into the historical and cultural context of Lincoln's time and digs deep into the available evidence to present a compelling argument that Lincoln was, in fact, the biological son of Thomas Lincoln. The book also examines the character of Nancy Hanks, Lincoln's mother, and her reputation for chastity. The author argues that Hanks' reputation for purity and virtue was well-deserved, and that the evidence supports the idea that she was faithful to Thomas Lincoln throughout their marriage. Overall, The Paternity of Abraham Lincoln is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that sheds new light on one of America's most iconic figures. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, and especially for those who have ever wondered about the true origins of Abraham Lincoln.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
