NEWSMAKERS ON THIS DAY
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865)
Lincoln was largely self-taught, gaining much of his education from
reading such books as the King James Bible, John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s
Progress, Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, Aesop’s Fables, and the
Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.
Lincoln once said, characteristically, “I am sorry for the man who
can’t feel the whip when it is laid on the other man’s back.”
