"McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 2, January, 1896" by Various is a collection of essays, articles, and poems published in the late 19th century. This volume features prominent pieces including a detailed examination of Abraham Lincoln's early life, contributions of the poet Eugene Field, and reflections on art and politics, showcasing a rich tapestry of American culture during that era. The opening of this magazine presents a substantial article edited by Ida M. Tarbell, focusing on Abraham Lincoln's formative years in Illinois, particularly from 1830 to 1832. It vividly recounts Lincoln's migration to Illinois, his work in a grocery store, and his engagement with the local community, including his rivalry with the "Clary's Grove Boys." It highlights key incidents that shaped his character, such as his efforts to educate himself, his physical confrontations with local youths that garnered him respect, and his eventual enlistment in the Black Hawk War. This portion sets the stage for understanding how Lincoln developed the qualities that would define his leadership in later life, drawing the reader into the historical context of his youth.
