📘 Lincoln's mothers by Dorothy Clarke Wilson

A great deal has been written about Abraham Lincoln but little about the two women who were the greatest influences in his life: his mother Nancy and his stepmother Sally. Their story is one of survival on the early American frontier, and of the unique love they held for their family, especially their son Abraham.
