Abraham Lincoln as a boy
Abraham Lincoln, shortly before 8th birthday, on the family farm near Hodgenville, Kentucky, reading from Webster's Elementary Spelling-book , with his dog Honey, whose broken leg he splinted.  Corn for the family dinner is in the linen satchel, and his stick-fishing pole in leaning against the tree trunk.  The Lincolns moved to Indiana a few months later.  The sculpture will be positioned so that Lincoln's gaze is into the face of himself:  a seated portrait of President Lincoln done by Adolph A. Weinmann in 1909.
