Book excerpt: In 1829, eleven years after Illinois became the twenty-first state, New Salem was founded on a bluff above the Sangamon River. The village provided an essential sanctuary for a friendless, penniless boy named Abraham Lincoln, whose six years there shaped his education and nurtured his ambition. Eclipsed by the neighboring settlement of Petersburg, New Salem had dwindled into a ghost town by 1840. However, it reemerged in the early part of the twentieth century as one of the most successful preservation efforts in American history. Author Joseph Di Cola relates the full story of New Salem's fascinating heritage.

He did not remain friendless for long. Meet the community that welcomed him: Bennett and Elizabeth Abell, the couple who guided him through heartache; Mary Owens, Elizabeth Abell's sister who helped educate him in the realm of the heart; Mentor Graham, the schoolmaster who helped teach him; Bowling Green, the jolly justice of the peace who allowed Lincoln to practice law before his court; and Slicky Bill Greene, who clerked with Lincoln at a frontier dry goods store. Making good use of primary sources overlooked by many historians, Dale Thomas helps flesh out the important story of Lincoln's formative years in Menard County.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Picture Guide Book of New Salem State Park: Lincoln's New Salem, Illinois Strangely the six years that Lincoln spent in New Salem almost completely encompass the town's brief history. The com munity was growing and thriving when Lincoln reached there in 1831, but in 1839. Just two years after he had left for Spring field to practice law and advance himself in the fascinating maze of politics the county seat was established at nearby Petersburg. Thereafter New Salem declined rapidly. The village fell into decay and neglect, but while it settled into the dust, the Lincoln legend grew. And as the image of Lincoln became brighter in the Nation's consciousness. Interest turned back to this deserted spot where he spent six formative years. The first active step toward re-creating New Salem came in 1906 when William Randolph Hearst lecturing at the Old Salem Chautauqua near Petersburg, became interested in the preser vation of the site. Bought it, and transfered it in trust to the Chautauqua Association. In 1917, the Old Salem Lincoln League was formed in Petersburg to carry on research and keep alive interest in New Salem. In 1918, with the consent of Mr. Hearst, the land was transferred to the State of Illinois. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
