Lot Description
[LINCOLN] - EAVES, Catherine
How I Twice Eloped The only Novelette ever sketched by Abraham Lincoln. An Indiana Idyll. Chicago: Oak Printing and Publishing, 1901. 12mo (192 x 135 mm). Illustrated frontispiece, 88pp. Original printed wrappers (some light wear to spine). This Lincolnesque tall tale was written by Catherine Eaves, a member of the Lincoln Literary Society in Hoosier Heights, Indiana, very close to Lincoln's boyhood home. The copyright is held by Albert Alberg, and the work is often attributed to him. RARE.
