Description

Excerpt from Lincoln''s Autobiography: Reproduced From the Original Manuscript in Facsimile

My father, at the death of his father, was but six years of age; and he grew up, literally without education. He removed from Kentucky to what is now Spencer County, Indiana, in my eighth year. We reached our new home about the time the State came into the Union. It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There grew up. There were some schools, so called; but no qualification was ever required of a teacher beyond readi?, writi? and rip/757771 to the Rule of Three. If a straggler, supposed to understand latin, happened to sojourn in the neighborhood, he was looked upon as a wizzard. There was absolutely nothing to excite ambition'' for education. Of course when I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write and cipher to the Rule of Three, but that was all. Ihave not been to school since. The little advance I now have upon this store of education, I have picked up from time to time under the pressure of necessity.
