A chance encounter with a library book about Lincoln in the small library of a tiny elementary school led to a lifelong interest in Lincoln, an interest that I pursued in my career first as an elementary school teacher, then as a college professor, then as a newspaper columnist, and finally as a "Living Historian" at Sarah Bush Lincoln's historical cabin site in Illinois. This book is borne of decades of research and writing, combined with an abiding appreciation for who Lincoln was, where he came from, and what he accomplished.
