Illustrated by
Wendell Minor.
Abraham Lincoln remembers how he viewed the world as a young, poorly schooled Kentucky boy and reflects on his work as a storekeeper, a lawyer, and finally a politician. Illustrated with large pictures that set the scene and convey character, the free verse text portrays what Lincoln's emotional response to events may have been, rather than offering specific facts about his life. An endnote provides some background material.
