Excerpt from History of the Lincoln Homestead Of the numerous sites in Illinois that have become sacred because of their association with Abraham Lincoln, none is more import ant in the affections of the nation than the beautiful homestead that stands on the north east corner of Eighth and Jackson streets in Springfield. Abraham Lincoln lived within the walls of this historic structure for almost sixteen years and it is the only place of residence he ever owned. It was the one possession that spelled security for him and shelter for his loved ones. It was a place of refuge where he could relax and reflect upon the perplexing problems of life. It was Home Sweet Home to Abraham Lincoln. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story of Abraham Lincoln: Or the Journey From the Log Cabin to the White House The humble origin and lowly condition of the man is presented for the purpose of strengthening and developing correct ideas concerning the possibilities of the human race, no matter What the early environ ment or training may have been. I spent several weeks at the Lincoln homestead, personally inter viewing the relatives, friends, neighbors and associates of Mr. Lincoln and his father's family, while those further removed from the old home stead were otherwise communicated with, thus obtaining many incidents and anecdotes entirely overlooked by the ordinary historian. I have tried to make the home life of Uncle Abe, the children's friend, so intensely interesting that not a single family in the broad land will be without it.

Excerpt from The House Divided: The Story of Lincoln and the Civil War When Abraham was four years old, the family moved to another farm in Kentucky, about ten miles distant. Life in the Kentucky wilderness was harsh and severe. When game was plentiful, the family ate freely of grouse, turkey, bear, and deer. When it was scarce the family board consisted mainly of corn meal and potatoes. The members of the Lincoln household toiled long and hard from dawn until sunset. Even little Abe had his regular chores to perform each day - carrying water, filling the wood box, pick ing wild berries and grapes, and riding the horse when his father plowed.

Excerpt from Memories of the Old Homestead This is the story of my old Lorraine home, and I tell it, thinking it may be of interest to my children or to the children of others of the family. I have not attempted to give an elaborate family history, but have written of the early times in the old homestead and of some of the things that there took place, as I now remember them. If in this recital the personal pronoun occurs too often, it must be remembered that I am talking, principally, of my own recollections. Neither do I wish to convey the impression that the writer did any more than his proper share of the work or had more interesting experiences than others of the family. Indeed, being the youngest of a family of nine, it is more likely that he, the baby, had the easiest time of any, and, if any favors were shown, he got his full share. I intended to occupy but a few pages, but as I got into the subject I found more difficulty as to what I should omit than what to tell, and as material for volumes crowded my mind, I fully realized that the old live in the past, the young in the future.

Excerpt from There I Grew Up: A History of the Administration of Abraham Lincoln's Boyhood Home It was autumn 1816. For the third time since moving to Kentucky fourteen years earlier, a frustrated Thomas Lincoln found himself a victim of the state's chaotic land laws; defective titles cost Lincoln land or money in each of the three cases. Thomas Lincoln struggled eighteen miles into the Indiana wilderness and chose a site for his new home. In Indiana, he could purchase land directly from the government; his title to the land would be clear. After marking his claim, Thomas returned to Kentucky to gather his wife, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and their children, nine-year-old Sarah and.
