Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Sixteenth President of the United States
While at Knob Creek, Abraham went to school a few months, to two different teachers. His parents were both religious per sons - Baptist communicants. Their pastor, Parson Elkins, came once in a few months and preached in the neighborhood. His coming was a great event in the Lincoln family, and deeply impressed the sensitive minds of Sarah and Abraham. From Parson Elkin's fervent and eloquent sermons came Abraham's first ideas of public speaking, as well as his first impressions of religion.
