Summary "Footprints of Abraham Lincoln" by J. T. Hobson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work offers a unique collection of unpublished facts, reminiscences, and illustrations concerning the life of Abraham Lincoln, focusing on lesser-known aspects of his early life and influential relationships. It serves not as a traditional biography but rather as a supplement to existing histories, aiming to illuminate the man who deeply impacted American history. At the start of the book, Hobson sets the tone by sharing his personal connection to Lincoln through family history, and recounts significant moments in Lincoln's early years in Kentucky and Indiana. He introduces various historical figures who interacted with Lincoln during his youth, including neighbors and friends, providing firsthand accounts of their associations with him. The narrative opens with reflections on Lincoln's birth and early life, touching on family hardships and social dynamics in the communities he grew up in. Through interviews with various individuals who had personal ties to Lincoln, Hobson paints a vivid picture of the environments that shaped the future president.
