The title ties this picture to Abraham Lincoln's early life on the frontier, though the record does not say which dwelling is shown. Lincoln's family moved through rough log houses in Kentucky and Indiana during his childhood, and by the 1890s the log cabin had become a national symbol of humble beginnings, a image Lincoln's 1860 campaign had helped make famous. A photograph dated around 1890 reflects the growing public interest in preserving places connected with the president's youth. It shows how the pioneer home was remembered decades after Lincoln left it.
