Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: A Story and a Play The home to which the baby came was poor and bare. It was a tiny cabin in the state of Ken tucky, which was then a rough, unsettled coun try. Around the cabin were thick woods where wild animals roamed freely. The cry of cata mounts and the howling Of wolves could be heard in the stillness of the night. Turkeys and deer Often ran across the path of the settlers. There were few neighbors, for only brave peo ple were as yet willing to venture so far into the backwoods.
