Summary "Lincolniana; Or, The Humors of Uncle Abe" by Andrew Adderup is a collection of humorous anecdotes and stories centering around Abraham Lincoln, likely written in the mid-19th century. The book captures the essence of Lincoln's personality through tales that explore his wit, charm, and political savvy, particularly during his presidency amidst the Civil War. Through colorful stories and humorous illustrations, the reader gets a glimpse of the man behind the office, often framed through the lens of his interactions with friends, foes, and everyday citizens. The opening portion sets the stage for Lincoln's humorous anecdotes, beginning with a preface that hints at the light-hearted nature of the tales contained within. It introduces the character of "Uncle Abe," depicting him as a storyteller who uses wit and humor to navigate the complexities of politics. Early stories illustrate Lincoln’s clever use of humor as a tool for both ridicule and self-reflection, as he shares lessons from his childhood experiences and interactions with various characters from his past. Notably, the narrative reflects his ability to draw parallels between personal experiences and broader societal issues, making the humor both insightful and entertaining.
