Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, His Youth and Early Manhood: With a Brief Account of His Later Life In the crude surroundings that then were the lot of all, the story of Lincoln's youth and early manhood possesses a peculiar interest. In such a tale we catch gleams of a true nature tucked away in the lank form and homespun, and we watch a character grow clear Outlined through the power of a strong moral nature. The wilderness afforded splendid tests of manly quali ties, and kept the weak at bay. The axe, the maul, and the grubbing-hoe answered only to the quick eye and the sinewy frame. Abraham Lincoln, strong hearted and true, swung, split, and dug in the land of full-grown men and he emerged thence a leader among men.
