Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Farm Almanac: 1909 Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky February 12th, 1809. He was a farmer's boy. He was raised at the plow handles and his hardy frame and good constitution were inheritances of a long line of farmer ancestors. Lin coln loved farmers; he regarded them as the backbone of the nation; to him they were the plain people on whom the destiny of the nation rests. As he wittily said: God must have loved the 'plain people, ' he made so. Many of them. In no hearts is the memory of Abraham Lincoln more revered than in the hearts of the farmers of America. He has always seemed one of themselves, and was loved accordingly. While his later professional life took him from the farm and into other fields, still his heart was always near the soil. He knew about farming as one who had served an apprenticeship and many of his stories used to illustrate some points in his legal argu ments were taken from the experiences of his early days. As the motto for this Almanac and as a guidance for the people of America, we suggest this immortal quotation from Lincoln's Second Inaugural address.
