The opening of the biography introduces Abraham Lincoln, detailing his early life from his birth in Kentucky to his family's challenges and hardships. It describes his formative years of self-education, his relationships with family members, particularly his mother, and the influences that shaped his character. Leland emphasizes Lincoln's physical strength, intellectual curiosity, and empathetic nature, setting the stage for the defining moments of his later career.
