"Focusing on the crucial years between 1831 and 1842, Wilson's skillful analysis of the testimonies and writings of Lincoln's contemporaries reveals the individual behind the legends. We see Lincoln as a boy: not the dutiful son studying by firelight, but the stubborn rebel determined to make something of himself. We see him as a young man: not the ascendant statesman, but the canny local politician who was renowned for his talents in wrestling and storytelling (as well as for his extensive store of off-color jokes). Wilson also reconstructs Lincoln's frequently anguished personal life: his religious skepticism, recurrent bouts of depression, and difficult relationships with women - from Ann Rutledge to Mary Owens to Mary Todd."--BOOK JACKET.

"IT ALL STARTED with John T. Stuart. Abraham Lincoln and Stuart had first become acquainted as volunteers in the Black Hawk War of 1832, where the well-educated Stuart had been attracted by the conspicuous potential of his uncultivated companion in arms."
