Lincoln in Indiana

Abraham Lincoln, born in Kentucky in 1809, moved with his parents, Thomas and Nancy Lincoln, and his older sister, Sarah, to the Pigeon Creek area of southern Indiana in 1816. Dirck explains the Lincoln family's ancestry and how they and their relatives came to settle near Pigeon Creek. He describes the youthful Lincoln's relationship with members of his immediate and extended family. As Lincoln grew up, his ambitions led him away from the family farm, and Dirck tells how Lincoln chafed at his father's restrictions, why the Lincolns decided to leave Indiana in 1830, and how Lincoln eventually broke away from his family.
