Thomas P. Reep, 1870-1960, was about 20 years old when he began researching Abraham Lincoln's life by interviewing people who had actually known Lincoln. Among those he interviewed was William G. Greene who had clerked at a New Salem country store with the future president. Mr. Reep, an attorney in Petersburg, Illinois, was active as a Lincoln historian for decades after he wrote and arranged for the private printing of his first book, Lincoln and New Salem in 1918, based on his original research. Many Lincoln historians, including Carl Sandburg, used Mr. Reep's research as a basis for their writings about Lincoln's life in the 1830s. Abe Lincoln and the Frontier Folk of New Salem is the updated version of Lincoln and New Salem. This new edition was edited and rewritten by Mr. Reep's granddaughter, Constance Reep Unsworth, an editor and managing editor of Weekly Reader children's publications for over 30 years.

Thomas P. Reep in the 1890s, about the time he researched Lincoln's life of the 1830s in New Salem, Illinois. THIS REWRITTEN, UPDATED BOOK IS IMPORTANT FOR UNDERSTANDING LINCOLN'S ACTIONS DURING THE CIVIL WAR.
