The Soul Of Abraham Lincoln by William Barton

[Gene C]

In addition to his books and articles about Abraham Lincoln, William E Barton was also a minister of the Congregational Church and wrote several religious books and articles.
He also wrote one short book with an intriguing title that caught my eye "The Story of A Pumpkin Pie"

It's a short children's book and the story is told in the form of a poem.
Written in 1898, the simple illustrations set the scene of three children and their dog
"All boys and girls who read it through Will know what they themselves should do.
If they will work, and wait, and try, They, too, may have a pumpkin pie."
