This advertisement for *The Pioneer Boy and The Presidents Words* ties a book about Abraham Lincoln's youth to the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial in southern Indiana. The memorial marks the area where Lincoln lived from about age seven to twenty-one, between 1816 and 1830, on the frontier that later writers often presented as the source of his self-made character. Advertisements like this one show how publishers used Lincoln's humble origins to reach young readers and their parents in the decades after his death. The wording is worth reading closely for what it promised buyers about the man and his early years.
