Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Without the father, the new home had to be given up, and the mother and three boys had a hard time to make a living. 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.

Excerpt from The Boy's Life of Abraham Lincoln The story of this wonderful man begins and ends with a tragedy, for his grandfather, also named Abraham, was killed by a Shot from an Indian's rifle while peaceably at work with his three sons on the edge of their frontier clearing. Eighty-one years later the President himself met death by an assassin's bullet. The mur derer of one was a savage of the forest; the murderer of the other that far more cruel thing, a savage of civilization. When the Indian's shot laid the pioneer farmer low, his second son, josiah, ran to a neighboring fort for help, and Mordecai, the eldest, hurried to the cabin for his rifle. Thomas, a child of six years, was left alone be side the dead body of his father; and as Mor decai snatched the gun from its resting-place over the door of the cabin, he saw, to his hor ror, an Indian in his war - paint, just stooping to seize the child. Taking quick aim at a medal on the breast of the savage, he fired, and the Indian fell dead. The little boy, thus released, ran to the house, where Mordecai, firing through the loopholes, kept the Indians at bay until help arrived from the fort.
