Lincoln lived in the Sinking Spring farm, where he was born, for 2 years. Then he went to Knob Creek farm for five years before going to Indiana and what's now called his "Boyhood Home." He lived there from age 7 to age 21. At Knob Creek, he almost lost his life when he fell into the creek and he could not swim. Luckily, his friend held out a tree branch for Lincoln to grab onto. In Indiana, he won his first law case. People think that is what helped inspire him to be a lawyer. At Knob Creek he first saw slavery. There was a trail called the Old Cumberland and slaves walked on it. The trail went by his home. Abraham Lincoln was the greatest man in history to me. Here is a picture of a copy of the bottom of Lincoln's boyhood cabin in Indiana.
