| Abraham Lincoln’s desire to learn and his efforts to educate himself have become legendary. Lincoln grew up in poverty in Kentucky and Indiana, where he had little formal education and minimal access to books. As a boy, he would often read at night by the light of the fire in his family’s cabin. | ||||||
