First Sentence
"Abraham Lincoln lay stretched on his stomach, his head supported by his hands, facing the cooper's fireplace. A blaze of shavings and block lighted cobwebby beams overhead, clean staves and hoop-poles standing around the wall, the cooper's work-bench and tools, and the lank, aguish face of a man who sat on a keg beside the hearth, holding a book from which the young student recited."
