Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of Lincoln
Early a century has passed since the men and maidens of a quiet Village in Kentucky met to celebrate the wedding day of Thomas Lincoln and his young bride Nancy. The ever - changing line that marks the borders of the West rested then over the territory of Indiana, and a large part of Kentucky was hardly more than a wilderness. Hospitality was the law of the land. The stranger, pausing on his journey for the night, became a guest of honor. The customs of the time were simple; but there was no want of friendliness in the company that gathered around the rude table to wish the bride and bridegroom a long and prosperous life. The table was loaded with the delicacies of the period. Venison, bear - meat, wild turkey and ducks - all that the forest yielded was there in abundance, and what the occasion may have lacked in formality was made up in good cheer.
