Produced by Dianne Bean, and David Widger
"The Boys' Life of Abraham Lincoln" by Helen Nicolay is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the formative years and early life of Abraham Lincoln, detailing his humble beginnings, family history, and the challenges he faced growing up in a frontier environment. At the start of the work, the narrative introduces Lincoln's ancestry as pioneers who settled in America, illuminating the difficulties of their lives. It then delves into Lincoln's childhood, marked by poverty and tragedy—his mother’s death from sickness, which deeply impacted him and his family. These early events shape Lincoln's character and future ambitions. The beginning of this biography sets a tone of resilience, as it highlights not only the harsh realities he faced but also his thirst for knowledge, hinting at the remarkable journey he is destined to undertake toward becoming one of America’s greatest presidents.
