Shes been stricken with something the old-timers call Milk Sickness. My baby boy... she whispers before dying. Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mothers fatal affliction was actually the work of a vampire. When the truth becomes known to young Lincoln he writes in his journal henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study & devotion. I shall become a master of mind & body. & this mastery shall have but one purpose. Gifted with his legendary height strength & skill with an axe Abe sets out on a path of vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House.
