THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN VOL I by Ida Tarbell, published in 1895. It was falling apart in 1966, it's very fragile now!

Diana, I have a book exactly as you describe. It's called Abraham Lincoln's Stories and Speeches edited by J. B. McClure. The book is truly falling apart.

Yes, I have that one, too. Volume I of my set is pretty much like yours, but Volume II is in pretty good shape for its age. My volumes are reddish-brown.
