Excerpt from Boy of the Backwoods
When it was time to make soap, Abe built a fire outside and kept it burning under the big, black kettle. Into the kettle went the pieces of fat which Mrs. Lincoln had saved. After the fat had melted, lye was added. Soon a soft yellow soap was made.
Abe was always ready to hold the wicks in the candle molds while his mother poured hot tallow around them. The candles came out of the molds-long, straight, and white.
One day Mrs. Lincoln said, I want you to learn how to read and write, Abe.
She had heard that the country school was going to open and wanted her boy to go there. Abe knew he would have to walk four miles over a rough road to reach the school. He did not mind that for he knew he would like school.
So it was that Abe Lincoln began to grow up on the backwoods farm.
