About The Book

As one of our greatest presidents, the very atmosphere that surrounds the legacy of Abraham Lincoln borders on legend. To some, even the mere suggestion that Abraham Lincoln was born anywhere other than where traditional history books tell us might seem absurd.

However, there is much about the 16th president we still do not know, even though countless books on him have been written. Among the mysteries of the man are his beginnings, which include persistent stories of his illegitimate birth in North Carolina, and the evidence that suggests Thomas Lincoln was given a ready-made family.

The Tarheel Lincoln explores the past of Abraham Lincoln, analyzing the likelihood of his actual birth to Nancy Hanks and a prosperous mountaineer. The story has traveled through the Appalachian hills for almost 200 years now, and despite vehement denials by those who had much to lose in the revelation, it remains a topic of lively speculation. Examining this possibility provides some satisfying answers to much of the mystery that surrounds his background, birth and early childhood. For example, Abraham’s striking physical, emotional and intellectual differences from Tom Lincoln, his promotion of North Carolina Democrats during his administration and his guarded approach to the circumstances of his own birth are all brought into better perspective after asking the question, “Was Abraham Lincoln a Tarheel?”

The quest for Lincoln’s origins is a fascinating adventure, filled with interesting historical individuals who played parts in this drama, either to clarify or cloud the true story of where a wily politician who became president, and left an indelible mark on the United States, got his start.
