Abraham Lincoln’s Home From 1831 - 1837
Once upon a time, there was a frontier village that stood on the banks of the Sangamon river, 20 miles northwest of Springfield, Illinois. It was a cluster of cabins on a hill a hundred feet above the river. The name of the village was New Salem. It was not destined to survive the competition with rival towns. Beginning in 1829, it only lasted about 11 years. By 1840, this small village had been abandoned.
It would not even be a memory today, had it not been for the fact that one of its greatest citizens in later years became the greatest man of his time. That man was Abraham Lincoln.
Inspired by his visit to Lincoln’s New Salem Historic Site, the author has compiled this unique history of New Salem and its reconstruction. Filled with large colorful photos of the reconstructed structures, this book is the perfect souvenir for any visitor, as well as a great reference source for students of history interested in our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln.
