Most people seem to know more about how he died, rather than how he lived. My new book is more about how he lived and became the man we all know.
From a young man of twenty-two who could barely write his own name when he came to New Salem, what events motivated and change him in such life-altering ways? Who were the people who inspired him as he went through some of the most heart-breaking experiences any one person should ever have to endure?
The answers to these questions can be found within the pages of Young Lincoln of New Salem, the book that I wrote over the last three years. It is my sincere hope that you will be just as honestly moved in its reading as I was in its writing.
