Produktbeschreibung

This graphic novel is based early life of Abraham Lincoln from his childhood to winning the Presidency of the United States.

From an early age, Lincoln loved reading and he loved reading about history. His favorite President was George Washington, our first President. Lincoln's rocky childhood and his relationship with his father are some points I emphasized in this book. Along with his religious views, Abe Lincoln had very strong views on his dislike for slavery. He spent his adult life as a lawyer fighting for the rights of others.

This book also focuses on the hidden world that we never see, the spiritual world. Throughout his life Abe had a war going on around him. Through his struggle with love and family, his battle with melancholy was his most difficult. Using the realm of the supernatural is one way this book deals with his struggles. In the end, these struggles made Abe stronger for the hard years to come during the civil war.

Losing his mother, sister, and then his best friend Ann Rutledge was the beginning of his dark days. But his strong will to live and his love of life pulled him through. Everywhere Abe went he was well-liked and he loved to tell funny tales.

The book ends with Abe becoming the 16th President of the United States. This sets the stage for book 2 of Lincoln.

Orville Evjen was born in 1974 and grew up in western South Dakota on a farm and ranch until the age of 18, then moved to North Dakota. He loves to read comics and watch cartoons, which is why illustrating is so attractive to him. His favorite subject is history, also nonfiction, but fantasy catches his eye as well. His Great Grandmother on his mother's side, (who is Native American) often spoke of ghost stories which began his curiosity for fantasy and storytelling.

Autorenporträt

I was born in Hettinger, North Dakota in May 3, 1974, to Orville Evjen Sr. and Janet Bravecrow Evjen. At the age of 18 I lost both of my parents to an alcohol related accident. And have been living in Turtle Lake, North Dakota since. I grew up in western South Dakota and near the standing rock Sioux reservation. My mother was a member and was Sioux, my father was the grandson of a Norwegian immigrant who came here in the 1840's. My grandfather Ole Evjen was born one hundred years before I was in 1874. He and his family moved from Turtle Lake, ND to his brother's homestead after his death, in Sd. Where they lived until my father and mothers passing in 1992. I have one brother, Pernell and half-sister Paula who live in ND also. I have always loved history and the world of comic books, I practiced drawing comic art from the time I was six and by the time I was thirty I created a graphic novel on Lewis, Clark and Sakakawea. I am Christian and am very patriotic as I had 4 uncles that were in World War 2. I try to instill those values into my story telling and artwork.
