EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic image of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, as a young man during his days as a rail splitter in Illinois. The photograph, taken from an original glass negative, transports us back in time to the early 1800s and the rugged frontier life that shaped Lincoln's character and values. Lincoln's reputation as a rail splitter began when he worked as a laborer in the Sangamon River valley, splitting rails to sell for fencing. This arduous and physically demanding work required great strength, endurance, and determination, and it helped Lincoln earn a living during his formative years. The photograph shows Lincoln standing tall and strong, holding an ax in one hand and a pile of rail sections in the other, with a determined expression on his face. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the rural landscape of Illinois during the early 1800s. The dense forest in the background, with its towering trees and tangled undergrowth, contrasts sharply with the cleared area around Lincoln, where the logs and rail sections are piled high. The rough-hewn logs and the simple, hand-hewn rail sections speak to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early settlers, who used the abundant natural resources of the land to build their homes and communities. This photograph is a powerful reminder of Lincoln's humble beginnings and the hard work and determination that helped shape his character and ultimately led him to the presidency. It is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the early American settlers and the spirit of self-reliance that continues to define the American character to this day.
