Before the statue, before the speeches, before the myth — there was just Abraham Lincoln: a tall, awkward kid from a log cabin who read too much and believed in something bigger than himself. This is the story of how he rose from dirt-floor beginnings to become the president who held the United States together in its darkest hour. From the courtroom in Springfield to the fields of Gettysburg, from quiet heartbreaks to bold proclamations, Lincoln faced a nation on fire and refused to let it burn to the ground.

She wore black for forty years. And ruled a world in mourning. Queen Victoria didn’t just wear the crown — she became it. Through grief, silence, and sheer symbolic power, she turned herself into the emotional architecture of an empire that never stopped expanding. While others fought, conquered, and colonized, she sat — cloaked in black — and let the myth do the work. Victoria: The Widow Who Ruled the World is not a sentimental biography.

Franklin Pierce was president of the United States during one of the most pivotal periods in American history. He was the 14th president, and during his tenure leading the nation, he had to deal with multiple points of upheaval. He was the captain of the ship, but the boat had sprung multiple leaks. Even so, he managed to expand its scope. Building upon the vast territorial gains of his predecessor President James Polk, he executed the Gadsden Purchase, adding some 30,000 square miles to the Union.

The Checkers speech was made on September 23, 1952, by Sen.

His place was in doubt on the Republican ticket, so he flew to L.A. and delivered an address in which he defended himself, attacked his opponents, and urged the audience to contact the Republican National Committee to tell it whether he should remain on the ticket.
