Everything I’ve read about Lincoln has said that he loved to tell stories. Often, it is said just like that: “Lincoln loved to tell stories.” The biography I’m reading now (Team of Rivals) has had a sentence like that, or that sentence, at least five times in the last chapter.
But never are there any examples.
There seems to be a universal lack of Lincoln stories out there. So I’m making one up. And it’s gonna be long.
