A beautifully told story of young Abraham Lincoln's coming-of-age
Drawn from the early chapters of Carl Sandburg's Pulitzer Prize-winning
biography, Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years, this is the story of
Abraham Lincoln's childhood. Growing up poor on the family farm, Abe did
chores, helped his father cut down trees, and expertly skinned animals
and cured hides. As a young man, he became an avid reader. When he
witnessed a slave auction while on a flatboat trip down the Mississippi,
he was forever changed--and so was the future of America. This is the
remarkable story of Lincoln's youth, early America, and the pioneer life
that shaped one of our country's greatest presidents.
