"Lincoln; An Account of His Personal Life, Especially of its Springs of Action as Revealed and Deepened by the Ordeal of War" by Nathaniel Wright Stephenson is a historical account likely written during the late 19th century. This work delves into the personal life of Abraham Lincoln, exploring the experiences and influences that shaped his character and actions, particularly in relation to the trials of the Civil War. The opening of the
account introduces the reader to the environment surrounding Lincoln's early years, emphasizing the significance of the American wilderness in shaping his identity. Stephenson paints a vivid picture of Lincoln's origins, depicting his humble beginnings in a neighborhood filled with struggle and strife. The narrative discusses his family's background and his formative experiences in Kentucky, where the young Lincoln developed a profound sensitivity towards nature and life.
