Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Uncommon Commoner, and Similar Songs of Democracy
How was he trained - this untaught sage, With nothing but want for his heritage? Set to work at the tender age Which should have been conning a primer page; His whole youth spent for the pitiful wage Of axman, boatman, farmer, clerk; For learned alone in the school of work Was Lincoln.
