Lincoln's Youth: Indiana Years, 1816-1830 by Louis A Warren. Published by Indiana Historical Society, Indianapolis, IN, 1991. Reprint. Hardbound in Glassine Protected DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine in VG DJ. 298 Pgs. 0871950626. LCCN 90-19784. The author's classic study of Lincoln's formative years in Indiana tracks his growth from awkward boy to serious young man poised on the brink of a brilliant career. Here are fascinating glimpses of Lincoln's family life, the people he knew, the places he visited, his physical development, and the tragedies he suffered. Perhaps most revealing is Warren's treatment of Lincoln's education, both in the schools he briefly attended and in the books he read, and the influence of Thomas Lincoln in forming the character of his son.
