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.

"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.
