Aberham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln was our 16Th president. Today he is known as one of the greatest President, but at the time of his election no one would have predicted Lincoln success. Why was he successful you say? In his time in office till his death, he had led the country in the America Civil War. He was born on February ,12, 1809-and served in congress for the state of Illinois, and served as president later on. One thing I do know about Lincoln was he was born in a small log cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky. I had done some research on family tree and found that my great-grandfather had lived on a farm just up the road from Lincoln,s birthplace. And as most of you know I share a birthday with Lincoln but mine was later on in life. Lincoln would have been 202 years old, so Happy Birthday to a President.

I liked your story and you have most of the information but when Lincoln moved Indiana and then to Illinois he was connected to my family then.I thought that was an odd coincedence that he was connected to the Millers and then to my family > Then to think he came to Danville and had one of his law offices right here.

He had a law office iN New Salem IL. That is someplace you should go sometime. Then he had one in Springfield and one in Danville as he tried cases here.
