Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Lincoln Read The writer has been from youth to age a diligent and reverent student of any printed or written word throw ing light on the processes of slow yet steady growth through which Abraham Lincoln in his last years reached full mental and spiritual stature, and became the supreme American of his period. These processes are reflected in the present work which deals with what Lincoln read and pondered in a youth of few books and little schooling, and in his after years as lawyer and politician turned statesman. The record here set down cannot claim to be an exhaustive one, but it is as complete and accurate as long and careful searching of the sources now available to the student can make it.

As soon as Thomas was old enough to work, he drifted about wherever he could find a job. He grew up to be a wandering laboring boy, without any education and with very little ambition. But he was sober and honest. His friends liked him for his good humor and for the good stories he told. He was tall and stalwart and successful in the ath lctic contests of those days. He learned the trade of a carpenter, and married the pretty niece of the man in whose shop he worked. Her name was Nancy Hanks. She, too, was an orphan and had had a hard life. She was as poor as her husband, but she knew how to read and write and taught him to sign his name. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
