Learn about the life and times of Roman emperor Julius Caesar, from his early years to his eventual assassination. This fun and accessible 1849 biography for young readers, 'History of Julius Caesar', chronicles not only the great ruler's genius, but equally his folly. By highlighting the major events in Caesar's life, as he becomes the most powerful man in Rome, biographer Jacob Abbott makes the 2000 year-old history come alive. Abraham Lincoln was a great fan of Abbott's historical biographies.
