Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boy Scouts Life of Lincoln Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons, It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. Walt Whitman. "Tom Lincoln has bought a farm;" that is what all his Kentucky relatives - half-brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and cousins, were saying to one another. To be sure, Tom was a carpenter, but in those days in Kentucky - it was in 1803 that the farm was bought - people felt rightly that the great business of a man, as in all newly settled countries, was clearing and breaking the land, opening roads, driving out Indians and wild beasts. As Tom was only twenty-three years old and since he was five had been an orphan with no settled home, this buying of a farm was an event in the family. It meant that he was going to settle down; perhaps that he was getting ready to marry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
