Excerpt from The Library of Historic Characters, Vol. 8 of 10: And Famous Events of All Nations and All Ages
No President of the United States has risen to that eminence from humbler origin or from less propitious early surroundings than Abraham Lincoln. In his upward career, in spite of serious mistakes and sore stumbles, he steadily developed qualities fitting him for the high stations he was summoned to fill and the onerous public duties he was thus required to perform. Himself one of "the plain people," as he called them, he had firm faith in their sincere devotion to justice and liberty, and was assured of their support when aiming to treat the great questions of the day by the highest ethical standards. When he rose above the trifling disputes of local politics and grappled with the national problem of the extension of slavery, he, by instinctive devotion to duty, exemplified the maxim of Emerson, "Hitch your wagon to a star," and by so doing reached an eternity of fame.
Abraham Lincoln was born in Hardin County, Kentucky, February 12, 1809. His ancestry has been traced by genealogists to Samuel Lincoln, who emigrated from Norfolkshire, England, to Hingham, Massachusetts, about 1638. Members of the family lived successively in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Virginia, and followed Daniel Boone to Kentucky.
