Abraham Lincoln’s rise from a log cabin to the White House has inspired generations of Americans. Here, from our 16th president, are tips about how to have a successful life.
John Cribb is the author of "The Rail Splitter: A Novel of Abraham Lincoln," published by Republic Book Publishers.
Lincoln learned early the value of work. He wrote that his father put an ax into his hands when he was 8 and until age 23 "was almost constantly handling that most useful instrument."
He worked hard at whatever he put mind his to. As a budding politician, he tromped from farmhouse to farmhouse looking for votes. As a lawyer, he rode from courthouse to courthouse drumming up business and trying cases.
