Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Boy Lincoln There is a wonderful romance in the early life of Abraham Lincoln. It is worth anybody´s while to study the beginnings of such a career and examine the first steps made toward the greatness which was to come. Only a few months before I became acquainted with him, I was living in just such a log house as he built for his father in Illinois and but a few miles north of it. Both were larger and better than the cabin in the Indiana backwoods, but each had just such a puncheon floor as Abe´s step-mother made Tom Lincoln put down on her arrival. There were ten miles of open prairie between me and the nearest fenced settlement, and all the Embarrass River timber near at hand contained but one Yankee. The other settlers were all from Kentucky, southern Indiana and Ohio, altogether such neighbors as were his own around Gentryville. With all features of their character and life I became so familiar that it sometimes seems as if I had lived where he did.
