[Back Creek Books]

Greetings All,

For your consideration:
~
(No. 7550 )  Coggins, James Caswell. THE EUGENICS OF PRESIDENT ABRAHAM
LINCOLN: HIS GERMAN-SCOTCH ANCESTRY IRREFUTABLY ESTABLISHED FROM RECENTLY
DISCOVERED DOCUMENTS.
Elizabethton, TN: Goodwill Press, (1940). Full cloth, Octavo, xvi, 17-284
pages, black & white photographs, illus.. Near Fine in a Very Good Dust
Jacket, Jacket in Mylar protector.
      Uncommon genealogical study of Lincoln which declares that he was born
in Rutherford County, North Carolina rather than Kentucky, and was fathered
by one Abraham Enloe rather than Thomas Lincoln. Builds on the research and
interviews which James H. Cathey gathered in the late 1800s when several
witnesses and personal acquaintances of the parties involved were still
living. Coggins also uses the then in vogue "science of eugenics" to argue
that in any case, one as great as Lincoln could not have descended from such
a lowlife as Thomas Lincoln. Many interesting portraits and photographs
bolster the case. Bound in dark blue pebbled cloth over boards with
gilt-stamped spine and upper board. A touch of browning to endpapers and
textblock edges, otherwise clean and bright. White jacket has some mild
surface soil and a few edge chips at corners and spine ends.    $100.00

omission alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't
a book in it.' - Mark Twain
