Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: A Short Study of a Great Man and His Work When Abraham Lincoln, after having been named for President, was questioned by a campaign biographer as to his early life, he very pathetically said the whole story might be told in a single line of Gray´s Elegy: "The short and simple annals of the poor." All the world now knows that the man who spoke thus modestly of himself was born in the State of Kentucky on the 12th day of February, 1809. His cradle, if he ever had one, stood upon the dirt floor of a rude log hut; above it was a clap-board roof; about it was that kind of superstition which an isolated people, full of rude elemental force, always manifest, and that kind of poverty which, in a new and wild country, casts no shadow of degradation, for it is not the absence of goods but the invidious and blighting contrast of conditions which constitutes real poverty. This boy, too, was surrounded by people profoundly ignorant of the world and of the ways of men, and almost as profoundly ignorant of all bookish learning.
