"<strong>Abraham Lincoln</strong> was born in 1809 in a tiny log cabin in Kentucky. His family was poor, and Abe worked hard on the farm from the time he was small.",
"Abe went to school for less than one year in his whole life! But he taught himself by reading every book he could find. He would walk miles to borrow a book and read by the light of the fireplace at night.",
"Abe grew very tall — six feet four inches — and very honest. People called him <strong>Honest Abe</strong>. He became a lawyer, then a leader, and in 1861, the sixteenth president of the United States. This week you will learn how this log-cabin boy changed America."
