Abraham Lincoln: Biography - Chapter 1
In the 18th century, the territories of North America were still in the process of exploration and colonization by periodic migratory flows of pioneers. The Lincoln family was originally from Hingham, England. After arriving on the east coast of the new continent, the Lincoln family followed the general flow westward with each new generation.
Thomas Lincoln, a young itinerant worker with no academic education chose to stay in the state of Kentucky while his numerous brothers continued their march westward. There in the maturity of his life he settled in Elizabethtown in Hardin County, avoided participating in the social life of the community and worked as a carpenter and farmer but few savings obtained from both occupations.
In 1806 he married Nancy Hanks. she had not received any kind of instruction either, although she was superior intellectually. They moved to a log cabin located on the south fork of Nolin Creek (Sinking Spring Farm) and that testified to Thomas's well-known ineptitude in choosing good lands. There, three years later, on February 12, 1809, Nancy gave birth to a child whom she named Abraham.
Thomas Lincoln continued to move away from home frequently but for most of his childhood at least until age 7 his son Abraham lived in a picturesque place called Knob Creek about 12 miles from his birthplace. The stunning natural beauty of Kentucky's rustic landscapes, a region of rocky mountain hardwood trees and crystal clear streams was permanently etched into young Abraham's mind and remained ever present in his memories.
The life he led there was typical of a simple village boy, combining childhood adventures with his daily tasks on the farm. There he received the first foundations of his instruction. They taught him to read an write and there also his sister Sara was born.
To be continued in next chapter. Stay tuned Steemians!
