When Abraham Talked to the Trees

Plot

Though his early years were filled with hardship and loss, Abraham Lincoln had a hunger for learning and persisted in his determination to develop skills he would need later in life. Van Steenwyk's anecdotal story reveals the character of the boy who grew up to be an American president known for his brilliance, wit and humanity. Farnsworth's oil paintings beautifully capture the time, place and circumstances of young Lincoln's life.
