Excerpt from The Matrix
In this period of the History of the United States of America, when men and women have again been called upon to sacrifice and die to preserve and extend the liberty upon which their great Democracy is founded, it behooves us to examine and pass judgment upon all of its foundation stones. The au thor claims that the Romance of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, the father and mother of Abraham Lincoln, is one of those foundation stones. It has been chipped at and marred and banked over by the dust of time since those pioneer days in which it was enacted, of which so little of fact, but so much of tradition remains. The author has dug deep into all legends and collected as much as possible of documentary evidence, and now presents the reconstructed romance.
