Zall's 1982 classic, Abe Lincoln Laughing) includes stories derived from Lincoln's writings and speeches; writings by others up to April 1865; post-Civil War writings by those who knew him; and writings by others about Lincoln in later decades, including a sample from the twentieth century. Within each group, entries are arranged in the order in which they appeared in print. Included are notes, a bibliography, an index of the entries by section, and a subject index."--BOOK JACKET.Zall, Paul M. is the author of 'Abe Lincolns Legacy of Laughter Humorous Stories by and About Abraham Lincoln', published 2007 under ISBN 9781572335851 and ISBN 1572335858.
