In The Boyhood of Lincoln
A Tale of the Tunker Schoolmaster and the Times of Black Hawk
In the Boyhood of Lincoln, published in 1892 by Hezekiah Butterworth, is a tale of the Tunker schoolmaster and the times of Black Hawk, set on the Indiana frontier where Abraham Lincoln grew up. Butterworth calls it a true picture in a framework of fiction: around the tall, kind-hearted young Lincoln he builds a story of neighbors, a traveling schoolmaster, a school examination, a frontier rescue and news of the Black Hawk War, with many tales told at the blacksmith's shop and the fireside. The aim is openly moral, to show how Lincoln's character was formed by unselfish service to others.
