When Abraham Lincoln was 22 years old, he rode into New Salem and stayed there for six years. He made friends with a man named Rowan and many others. A man named Berry owned a shop there and invited Lincoln into the business. The first Berry/Lincoln shop was across town from a more popular shop. They moved closer to the busier shop and thought they would do better business there. They were wrong!
Lincoln read many books and tried many jobs in New Salem. But he never really found his niche.
