He experienced many tribulations as his family moved from frontier farm to frontier farm in the mid-west. As a young adult, he settled in New Salem, Illinois, penniless. He struggled to earn his livelihood, going from job to job. Soon, though, he entered politics and became a state legislator. In that position, he gained fame as a politician and a lawyer, not only within his state, but also at the national level, going on to lead the country during one of its most challenging times.
