From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
October 31
When pressed for biographical details concerning his early life, Lincoln replied, “It is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of my early life. It can be all condensed into a simple sentence, and that sentence you will find in Gray's Elegy: ‘The short and simple annals of the poor.’ That's my life, and that's all you or any one else can make out of it.” - Abraham Lincoln
